I recently had an exceptional sports massage session for an upper back, shoulder and neck problem. From the moment I walked in Jonathan was professional, attentive and genuinely concerned about my discomfort. He took the time to understand my injury asking detailed questions to tailor the session to my specific needs.

The massage itself was fantastic and precisely targeted my tight muscles and knots providing immediate relief. By the end of the session the pain had significantly reduced and my range of motion felt restored. Jonathan also provided helpful aftercare advice including stretches and posture tips.

Cannot recommend any higher - Will be booking another session again soon!

I recently visited Jonny at Muscle Kare Therapy after sustaining an acute lower back injury during a gym class, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

From the moment I arrived, Jonny was incredibly welcoming and put me at ease straight away. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, and calm, confident manner were immediately evident.

He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, asking detailed questions about my injury and lifestyle to ensure a tailored approach. The treatment itself included a highly effective sports massage combined with targeted techniques to relieve tension and improve mobility in my lower back. Jonny clearly has a deep understanding of anatomy and injury rehabilitation—his ability to locate the source of pain and apply the right pressure and technique was outstanding.

What truly stood out was his commitment to not just treating the injury, but also educating me on how to support my recovery through stretches, posture advice, and preventative tips for future training. I left the session feeling significantly more mobile and with a noticeable reduction in pain.

Jonny is a highly skilled therapist with a genuine passion for helping people recover and perform at their best. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury or simply need expert muscular care, I would wholeheartedly recommend Muscle Kare Therapy.

Attended my Sports Massage appointment around 4-5 months ago, and can't recommend Muscle Kare enough. I re-gained a full range of motion, all niggling aches and pains gone, and the advice afterwards was 100%! Will be returning when needed again.

I really needed to share my experience with Jonathon! After a back problem I visited Jonathon on a bank holiday Monday
I immediately felt at ease & he done wonders for my discomfort, I left walking straighter ! He then contacted me a few days later to see how I was, customer care at its finest ! I was still in a bit of pain so Jonathon seen me on a Sunday evening to accommodate my busy lifestyle. Exceptional service! After this session I actually called him “magic hands” I couldn’t believe the difference!

I am delighted to have found Jonathan who is an excellent massage therapist located near my home. I’ve been seeing him roughly every 6-8 weeks since April and he’s helped me stay fresh and healthy during half marathon training. I will continue seeing Jonathan for the foreseeable as he has added so much value to my health.

Highly recommend going to Muscle Kare, I couldn't recommend it enough!! Over the years, a combination of sitting a lot in my day job and how our backs generally carry our stress, my posture hadn't been the best. I'd tried deep tissue massages at a few places, and although they were relaxing, they didn't actually help get to the root of the issue!
Johnny at Muscle Kare worked a deep tissue massage on me, and helped me understand why my back was carrying a lot of stress - he was able to explain the situation in such a simple, comprehensible way. He's given me different stretches to do to help correct my back, and honestly it's doing wonders. I live over in London, but always try book a session in with Johnny when I'm back in Northern Ireland... Its so worth it!

Can’t recommend highly enough. I had a few sessions during my build up to the London marathon as I was struggling with my hamstrings. Not only was the treatment first class but the continual support and advice on how speed up recovery was amazing. Not sure I’d have made it round (or recovered afterwards) without it.

A sports massage is a type of massage that uses specific techniques to help relieve pain and tension in muscles and tissues. Sports massages can be used to treat both acute and chronic injuries, as well as conditions caused by everyday activities.

Some benefits of receiving a sports massage include:

– Reduced pain and discomfort

– Improved range of motion

– Increased flexibility

– Enhanced recovery after exercise

– reduced stress and anxiety levels

– reduced recovery time

– improved circulation

– relief from pain and stiffness

– increased endurance

– enhanced sports performance

Sports massages are generally safe for most people. However, there are some people who should avoid them, including:

pregnant women

– people with certain medical conditions (such as cancer or heart disease)

– those who are taking blood thinners or other medications that may cause bruising

As for how often you should receive a sports massage, it depends on your individual needs.

If you are dealing with an acute injury, you may need more frequent sessions.

For chronic conditions or general soreness, one to two times per week is usually sufficient.

You can expect to see some results after just one sports massage treatment.

However, for the best results, it is generally recommended to receive a series of massages.

After each session, you should feel less pain and discomfort and have more range of motion.

There are a few things you can do before and after your sports massage appointment to get the most out of it:

Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help flush out toxins from your muscles.

Avoid eating a heavy meal before your massage.

– Apply ice to any sore or injured areas before your appointment.

– After your massage, avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day. Instead, take it easy and allow your body to recover.

Booking is quick and easy, within a few minutes you can have your treatment pencilled in your diary – there is no deposit required to book with us.

We offer a wide range of services to suit your needs.

Jonathan is an experienced sports massage therapist, who can always accommodate your schedule.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, no problem!

We understand that life happens. You can always book online or give us a call.
