About Me
Hi, I’m Francesca, a qualified sports massage therapist based in Colchester. I have a deep and extensive understanding of sports recovery, movement, and massage, developed through both my professional training and my own active lifestyle. I offer a variety of treatments including sports massage, lymphatic drainage, fire cupping, and assisted stretching, all tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether you’re managing an injury, preparing for an event, or simply looking to improve your mobility and wellbeing, I’m here to help you move, feel, and perform at your best.
I’m incredibly passionate about health, fitness, and wellness, and I believe in taking a holistic approach to recovery and performance. As someone who enjoys running, yoga, and triathlon training, I understand firsthand the importance of maintaining the body through regular care and mindful movement. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me outdoors training for my next challenge, or at my local yoga class focusing on balance, strength, and mobility.
I’m also in the process of training to become a yoga teacher, which allows me to deepen my personal practice and expand my knowledge of how the body moves, adapts, and heals. My goal is to combine this growing expertise with my massage therapy skills to offer a well-rounded, supportive approach to recovery and wellbeing for every client I work with.
Treatment List
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a form of therapy designed to support the body’s recovery, performance, and overall wellbeing. It involves targeted techniques that help relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation. While it’s ideal for athletes and active individuals, sports massage is also highly beneficial for anyone experiencing muscle tightness, stress, or postural discomfort from everyday activities. Regular treatments can help prevent injury, speed up recovery, and leave you feeling looser, more balanced, and ready to move comfortably in your daily life.
Fire cupping
Fire cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that uses heat to create suction on the skin, helping to release tension, improve circulation, and promote natural healing. The gentle suction encourages fresh blood flow to the area, easing tight muscles and reducing discomfort. It’s an effective treatment for relieving deep muscle tension, supporting recovery, and enhancing overall wellbeing. Whether you’re managing aches from training or simply looking to unwind and restore balance, fire cupping offers a soothing and restorative experience for both body and mind.
Assisted stretching
Assisted stretching is a hands-on technique designed to help you move more freely, improve flexibility, and release muscle tightness. During a session, your body is gently guided through a series of stretches to target areas that may feel restricted or tense. This type of treatment not only enhances mobility and posture but also supports recovery, reduces stiffness, and helps prevent injury. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance or simply want to feel more relaxed and flexible in everyday life, assisted stretching offers lasting benefits for your overall wellbeing.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, therapeutic technique designed to support the body’s lymphatic system, which helps remove toxins and excess fluid. Using light, rhythmic movements, this massage encourages lymph flow, reduces swelling, and promotes natural detoxification. It can be especially beneficial for post-injury recovery, reducing fluid retention, and boosting the immune system. Regular treatments may also help improve circulation, support overall wellbeing, and leave you feeling lighter, refreshed, and revitalized.
