Sports Massage Therapy can be beneficial to anyone looking to promote muscular and psychological health, whether that is due to an injury or muscular tension caused by stress.

It does not stop at the physiological level; new research is now able to show the beneficial effect of massage on the body’s nervous system and mind, helping to play an important role in an individual’s health and wellbeing.

Benefits of Sports Massage Therapy include reducing stress and tension (whether it is felt as muscular or psychological), helping to improve the quality and pattern of sleep, movement, everyday activity and more. Its effects are not only on the muscular system but also the lymphatic system, nervous system, cardiovascular system and as mentioned above, the mind that can all be positively affected.

Sports Massage isn’t just for athletes; it’s a technique that is applied in a specific way to you and your muscle tone to help relieve any issues you may have and maintain healthy muscle tissue. Utilising Sports Massage is best when in a regular routine as it helps keep muscular tension and imbalances in check.

Matthew graduated from Teesside University in 2021 with a degree in Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation before completing a Master’s in Physiotherapy in early 2023.

He began working in private practice as a Sports Rehabilitator, treating both athletes and non-athletes alike, before transitioning into occupational health. He now works as an MSK Physiotherapist with Durham County Council, helping individuals manage and recover from musculoskeletal conditions.

His passion for physiotherapy was sparked by a personal experience with an ACL rupture that sidelined his football career. While football is now in the past, he continues to stay active through running and strength training.

With a strong interest in both sports-related injuries and persistent pain conditions, Matthew is dedicated to helping patients optimise their performance and recovery. He prioritises clear, honest, and evidence-based advice, ensuring patients receive guidance that is both practical and relevant to their rehabilitation journey.
