HELEN O’SULLIVAN
SPORTS AND REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Repair, Renew, Relieve
At my fixed premises or within the comfort of your own home - you choose.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Sports and Remedial massage is suitable for everyone as it has many positive effects on the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems.
HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?
Sports massage or soft tissue therapy is the manipulation and mobilisation of soft tissue structures such as tendons, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue. It helps to improve muscle functionality, increasing flexibility and elasticity of the muscle fibres. It also helps to release tension and is effective in reducing pain and discomfort.
Helen O’Sullivan Sports and Remedial Massage aims to focus on your musculoskeletal areas of the body most vulnerable to injury or stress by using a variety of techniques to relieve muscular tension, break down adhesion’s, mobilise soft tissues and reduce pain.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
To ensure I can provide the best treatment the session will always include a conversation about your current condition and what you hope to get from the massage. From this we will agree upon a suitable massage treatment plan. Once you are completely happy then the treatment will start.
As massage is a hands-on treatment, some degree of undress is required. Towels are used for your comfort and dignity throughout. Ladies may be asked to remove their bra for back treatments, however I do insist that everyone wears shorts or underwear on the lower body at all times.
HOW TO BOOK A TREATMENT
Please get in touch via phone/message/email so we can work together to chose a day/time to suit you.

ABOUT ME
I am passionate about sports, health and nutrition. As a member of two local running clubs I fully appreciate the demands an active lifestyle requires, whether this is through sports, occupation, everyday activities, or circumstances of life.
After flying high (literally) for almost 20 years, I decided to hang up my wings in 2020 to pursue my dream and passion of becoming a sports massage therapist. Since I ran my first marathon in 2013, sports massage has always been an integral part in maintaining my own health, fitness and general wellbeing whilst in the air and on the ground. The benefits and effects of sports massage I would recommend to absolutely everyone, whether involved in sports, sitting at a desk, for wellbeing, or simply for relaxation.
I completed by Sports Massage Diploma in 2020 and throughout my studies I have developed a variety of skills to carry out treatments for pre, post, maintenance and restorative purposes using a range of techniques whilst providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere.
As a member of the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) I am always looking to integrate new treatments and therapies into my practice and believe that continued learning is important in providing the best service to my clients.

I use my body daily for work, I am on my feet all day and alongside cycling I have just started running. I can highly recommend Helen as being a very thorough, knowledgeable and skilled sports masseur, who is really enthusiastic and passionate about her work. She made me feel at ease immediately and continually ensured my comfort and wellbeing was a high priority. Thoroughly recommended.

Had the best week in ages following my treatment. Legs and back felt great. My shoulder hasn't felt this good for a long time, so thank you Helen. Looking forward to my next session so much. Regards, The much improved Jamie
Jamie
I had my first massage with Helen recently and I found her to be very thorough and insightful. It really helps that she is an experienced runner, she is incredibly understanding and full of great advice. I would definitely recommend her. I love the fact that Helen will come and treat her client's in their home, that's a huge advantage.
