Welcome to Zöe Foster Sports Massage

You don't have to be a pro athlete to get the benefits of a sports massage.

Whether you are a weekend gardener or an amateur athlete, you can benefit from regular massage to help prevent the build up of toxins in the body that are created daily through activity.

Zöe will use a combination of Sports Massage and Bamboo Massage to break up adhesions. She says, "Massage works to align the different layers of tissue, treating the tendons, tissues and fascia as well as the muscles to release tension and provide pain relief."

What Zoe's Happy Clients Are Saying

Slide
Shoulder Trouble...

I was having trouble with my shoulder. I’d actually dislocated it years ago, and Zoe was able to address the immediate issue and also work on the scar tissue the dislocation had caused.

Very Thorough...

Very thorough sports massage from Zoe. Knows what she’s doing and left feeling a little more limber than when I went in, which is saying something.

Big Help Getting On Big Race Starting Lines

I've been working closely with Zoe for the last 6 months or so she's been helping me get race ready and has been a big help with me reaching the start lines of big races the most recent race completed was the king offas dyke race 185 miles 31000ft of climbs with change. Any long distance runners out there needing advice or help with your endurance then get in touch with Zoe.

Unlocked My Shoulder

I am an upholsterer and was finding my shoulder was beginning to lock up and cause me a lot of pain. Since seeing Zöe regularly I have not had an issue.

Sorted It There and Then

I met Zöe in a shop when I had literally just cricked my neck. She sorted it out there and then and I have been seeing her for regular maintenance since.

Sports Massage After-care

Zöe feels that aftercare is equally important as the actual massage therapy session itself, as often there is a simple fix - a stretch that you can do daily to address a weakness.

She says, "I get a good understanding of what has potentially caused your symptoms during the sports massage session, and often a yoga stretch is the solution".

For example, if you sit at a desk all day, you will need a counter pose to stretch out the muscles. A counterpose is a term used in yoga, and it is a posture that helps neutralise the body after a particular pose.

“I often see clients when they have reached their lowest ebb, when an injury has completely disabilitated them.

I get it...

We all push-on when sometimes we need to rest. I will work with you to improve the symptoms, and investigate the origin. I then suggest re-habilitation stretches which you can do at home to ensure wellness.

What You Should Look For When Choosing Your Sports Therapist

If you're looking to have a sports massage for the first time, the session will be quite different to a Swedish or beauty type massage.

Before treating your presenting problem your sports therapist, will ask about you as a person, what job you do, what hobbies you have, are you active or non active.

Understanding your lifestyle is usually a big clue to finding a solution to the presenting problem for you. All treatments will be “tailored to you” much as you would expect from a physiotherapist or osteopath to do.

You will also be advised if you require more than one session.
