Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy

Targeted relief. Lasting results. Backed by over 20 years of experience.

Whether you're training hard, dealing with a persistent niggle, or just carrying the tension of a busy life in your body — sports and remedial massage can help you move and feel better.

I'm Roland Baskerville, Dip PT DipSM, and I've been working with active bodies since 2003. From gym-goers and weekend warriors to elite performers and national sports teams, I understand what muscles under pressure need — and how to treat them effectively.

What is sports & remedial massage?

Sports and remedial massage is hands-on, results-focused therapy designed to get to the root of muscle tension, pain, and restricted movement. It's not just about relaxation — it's about identifying what's causing the problem and fixing it.

Using a blend of techniques including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and pre/post-event treatment, I work with your body as an integrated system — not just the area that hurts.

What can it help with?

  • Tight, overworked, or fatigued muscles

  • Back, neck and shoulder tension

  • Sports injuries and post-training recovery

  • Reduced range of motion or stiffness

  • Chronic aches that won't shift

  • Pre-event preparation and post-event recovery

What to expect

Every session begins with a thorough consultation — I'll ask about your health, movement patterns, training, and what you want to get out of treatment. I look at posture, flexibility and how your muscles are working before deciding on the best approach.

From there, treatment is tailored to you on that day. I also provide aftercare advice, stretching and movement guidance so you can keep progressing between sessions.

Techniques I use

Deep Tissue Massage — Sustained, purposeful pressure to release tension in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Effective for chronic tightness, adhesions and restricted movement.

Trigger Point Therapy — Focused work on specific points within muscle tissue that are causing referred pain or tension elsewhere in the body. If you've ever had a knot in your shoulder that gives you a headache, this is for you.

Pre & Post-Event Massage — Tailored treatment to prepare your body for performance or support faster recovery afterwards. Used with athletes at all levels, including my work with the National Shukokai Karate Team.

Remedial / Injury Recovery Massage — Targeted work to support recovery from soft tissue injury, helping restore function and prevent the problem returning.
