Excellent sports massage. Abbie was welcoming, knowledgeable, and really thorough—asking detailed questions about my injury to make sure the treatment was tailored to my needs. I left feeling much better and will 100% be booking again

Patient review
I have always received very professional and informative support both from the physio and the person who does the massage. I am listened to carefully and pertinent questions are asked of me which help in diagnosis. From the physio I am given exercises specific to me needs. I would also like to thank the receptionists who are always friendly and extremely efficient.

Patient review
I was first recommended by my GP Dr Cartwright who I would always trust. I have used Impact for both sports massage and more recently for physio and both experiences have been great. Very nice front of house professional staff who do their best to get you an appointment as soon as they can. Both therapists have been really helpful, professional and friendly. Most important their treatments are a success. Thank you!

Very professional and welcoming. Sara took the time to listen to what I wanted from my massage; to help in preparation for the Ramathon. She identified the problem areas and now, 6 hours later I definitely feel less tense and well stretched.

Patient review
I have been attending the Long Eaton branch for several years. The receptionists are always very polite and helpful. They are also extremely efficient both before an appointment with e-mail reminders and on the day of a visit. They create a calm and business like ""first impression"" of Impact Physiotherapy. I cannot rate them highly enough. I have been seen by Fiona on and off for several years. Besides being an accomplished physiotherapist, she always explains fully the treatment and clearly explains exercises for me to do between appointments and importantly makes sure that I understand before I leave that day. I have recently had massages with Amanda which I shall continue to do on a monthly basis. Again any treatment is explained in detail and she also listens to what I am saying so that she can make valued judgements on how she approaches my issues. I would thoroughly recommend the Long Eaton practice from the evidence of first hand experience.

I always felt quite uncomfortable when it came to having to get massages for muscle pain however, booking in with Sara was the best thing I ever did. Not only did she make me feel comfortable but she listened to me and took the time to help and advise me. Her approach is fantastic and she is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Sara.

If you are looking for a great physio I would highly recommend Christine Koh. Friendly, practical advice that worked to manage a back injury. Great sports massage and an easy to follow program of exercises provided that has got me back on the bike, in the pool and on the road.

Massage FAQs
YES!
Sports massage is so-called simply because it is a style of massage popular with sports people. Whether you’re an Olympian, casual gym user, desk bound office worker or stay at home mum, you deserve the same quality treatment tailored to your needs. This being sports massage, remedial massage or a combination of the two.
Its OK to have a massage with the following complaints
Muscular pain, Back, Neck & Shoulder pain, Stiff neck, Sore Shoulders, Hip & Knee pain, Painful disorders of joints & muscles, Stress, Headaches, Sciatica, Sports injuries, Tendonitis, Frozen shoulder, Accidental injuries e.g. whiplash, Pain of chronic illness & disability, Arthritic pain & Rheumatism
If you are unsure as to whether you should see a masseur / physio then please ask when you book your appointment.
With the correct training it makes no difference whatsoever. The correct use of bodyweight allows the same correct pressure to be applied by either a male or female.
The therapist will need access to the required body part. So it is recommended you wear clothing that is easily removed or repositioned. Many clients feel comfortable in their underwear however modesty is maintained at all times by using towels to cover the body. They are only removed to allow access to the area of the body that is being worked on. Body parts such as the gluts are worked on through clothing/towelling for clients comfort and is just as effective.
Females are asked to wear a back fastening bra so that the upper back and shoulders are easily accessed, sports bras can be awkward in this situation. Long or tight shorts are often restrictive so are not ideal as access to the hamstrings/adductor attachments can be difficult.
It is imperative you feel comfortable at all times whether you are suitably undressed or fully clothed.
Sometimes sports massage can be a little uncomfortable, but it is only ever a ‘good’ pain – you will instinctively know is doing good. Please remember that you are always in charge so if you’re uncomfortable in anyway please say so and a different approach will be taken
If you want lighter pressure please say, the aim is for you to feel happy with the treatment you are receiving.
It is not unusual to feel a little post massage soreness for a day or two after a deep tissue massage, this is usual. Common post massage advice includes warming the area with a hot bath or a hot water bottle, drinking LOTS of water and gentle but progressive stretching.
If you are worried in any way about being sore, or have an important event in the next day or two, please do communicate this, it is not a problem to work around.
YES however a hypoallergenic lotion is used such as Chemodol.
Chemodol is quite suitable for every kind of skin and easily removable with water. It has a high oil content and excellent absorption properties, thus permitting optimal skin contact. It has a neutral fragrance and does not stain clothing.
If you are worried in any way about being sore, or have an important event in the next day or two, please do communicate this, it is not a problem to work around.
