Sports & Remedial Massage | Muscle Therapy
My journey into the world of maintenance and recovery treatment began after experiencing an injury during MMA training, which sparked my curiosity about how the body heals and how to optimise recovery...
This led me to become a Level 3 qualified practitioner, specialising in Sports Massage, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM), Cupping Therapy, Kinesiology Taping, and Passive Stretching techniques. I particularly enjoy onsite event treatments, including pre-, intra-, and post-event massage.
My focus is on injury prevention, rehabilitation and maintenance to enhance performance, prevent future injuries, and improve everyday living. Whether helping athletes and gym-goers push their limits or supporting busy professionals with muscle tension relief, my treatments are always tailored to the individual.
I take a client-centred approach to ensure each session is effective, engaging, and designed to help clients feel their best, maximise recovery, and elevate their game!
I'm proud to operate in partnership with the Alan Black Performance Centre, where my clinic is based in Cowdenbeath. My journey with Alan began when I was his personal training client. During my injury recovery, he supported and encouraged my interest in human movement and rehabilitation. When I launched my clinic, Alan offered me a unique opportunity to establish my own dedicated space within his gym — a space that welcomes both members and non-members alike.

Sports massage is a targeted form of massage therapy designed to help prevent injuries, prepare the body for physical activity, and support recovery. As a Level 3 qualified practitioner, I use a range of techniques to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility—whether you're an athlete, a regular gym-goer, or someone experiencing muscle tightness from work or daily life. It’s not just for sportspeople—it’s for anyone looking to move better and feel better.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a technique that uses specially designed tools to help identify and treat areas of soft tissue restriction or dysfunction. As a trained practitioner, I use IASTM to help stimulate the soft tissues, encourage healthy healing, improve mobility, reduce pain, and support recovery. It’s a safe and effective treatment that complements sports massage and can benefit anyone experiencing muscular tightness, overuse injuries, or general aches and pains.
Cupping therapy is a soft tissue treatment that uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues, helping to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support recovery. I offer both dry and wet cupping techniques, tailored to your specific needs. Dry cupping involves creating suction without any incisions, while wet cupping involves a very mild, controlled technique to help draw out toxins and promote healing by enhancing circulation. Cupping can be an effective stand-alone treatment or used alongside sports massage to enhance results.
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that uses an elasticated tape applied to the skin to support and stabilise muscles and joints without restricting movement. It helps to reduce pain, alleviate pressure, and promote healing by improving circulation and lymphatic flow. As a trained practitioner, I use kinesiology tape to assist in managing muscle strains, joint discomfort, and post-injury recovery. The tape is designed to move with the body, offering support while still allowing full range of motion, making it an ideal complement to sports massage or other treatments.
Passive stretching techniques are an integral part of my sessions, designed to help improve flexibility, release muscle tension, and enhance overall mobility. By gently guiding your body into stretches, I help increase the range of motion and promote relaxation, which can aid in injury recovery and prevent future discomfort. I tailor these techniques to suit your specific needs, ensuring each stretch supports your unique goals and recovery process.
I'm particularly passionate about providing on-site event treatments for pre-, intra-, and post-event massage. I tailor each service to the specific needs of individuals or teams, ensuring optimal performance and recovery. Have mobile plinth, will travel!
