Remedial Therapy
& Sports Massage
by Iain Duncan in Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire.
Injuries can occur at any time and are not limited to sports-related activities. Poor posture, accidents, weaknesses in unexpected areas, wear and tear, and ageing can all contribute to various types of injuries or discomfort in the body. These issues can affect anyone, regardless of whether they are involved in sports or not.
If you experience body aches, back soreness or painful/impaired shoulder, knees or hip discomfort a sports massage could potentially help alleviate some of these issues. Sports massages are not exclusively for athletes; they can benefit anyone who is experiencing muscle tension, pain, or a limited range of motion. It focuses on manipulating soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, enhance flexibility and promote relaxation. It can help alleviate pain, aid in injury recovery, prevent future injuries and improve overall physical well-being. Remedial Therapy helps to lengthen tight muscles using specialised techniques to alleviate postural, balance and overloaded areas.
However, it's important to note that while sports massages and remedial therapy can be beneficial for certain conditions, they may not be suitable for everyone or every situation. Please contact me for advice on this and I will be happy to discuss a Treatment Plan.
About Iain
I have been a Health Club Manager and Personal Trainer for over 30 years so have been involved in how the body trains and works for most of my adult life. As a former professional Rugby player, I have also seen almost every kind of injury and have had to rehabilitate myself through a lot of them personally.
I took the decision to become a Remedial Therapist and Sports Masseur because I have seen the benefits it has had with my own body. My aim for my clients is to help them become pain-free or at least manage the pain in certain cases where total repair is not possible.

“After having 2 cortisone injections with minimal success for a frozen shoulder, I approached Iain to see if he could help me with the severely limited movement I still had. He was very thorough and took an initial history of my injury before working in a methodical and professional manner.
Iain is very knowledgeable and explained thoroughly what he was doing in each session. Very quickly I noticed a dramatic improvement in my mobility and am now confidently back doing the sports I love! I would recommend Iain to anyone who has sustained a sports injury as you will be hiring a competent and skilful therapist who takes great pride in getting results! ”
