Samantha Atkinson - Sports Massage Therapy

Not long now until the Great North Run! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

You’re putting the miles in, so don’t let poor prep or recovery undo all your hard work!

A sports massage session leading up to the big day can help you feel your best and enhance performance, while a post-race recovery session can help ease muscle soreness and get you recovering sooner.

Make recovery a priority, not an afterthought ‼️

🎓 One year since I graduated university… here’s what I’ve learned.

I graduated with a first-class honours degree in Sports Rehabilitation Therapy. Looking back, I never imagined how much I’d grow, not just as a therapist, but as a business owner too.

One thing I’ve learned is that having the qualifications doesn’t mean you have to do everything all at once.

My degree qualifies me as a musculoskeletal (MSK) practitioner, meaning I’m trained in injury assessment, diagnosis, rehabilitation, exercise prescription and much more alongside sports massage.

So why haven’t I expanded into all of that yet?

Because I wanted to build strong foundations first.

For the past four years, I’ve focused on providing the highest quality sports massage treatments I can. Rather than trying to offer every service straight away, I’ve chosen to take my time, continue learning, gain confidence, and make sure that when I do introduce new services, I can give them the same standard of care that my clients already expect (I’ve also been in the middle of buying a house which is a bloody challenge in itself 😅).

Running a business has taught me that growth doesn’t have to be rushed. Sometimes the best progress happens when you focus on doing one thing exceptionally well before adding the next.

The last year has been full of learning, challenges, and plenty of proud moments. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their recovery and supported my business along the way.

This is only the beginning, and I’m excited for what’s still to come. 💙

Here’s to the next chapter. 🚀

It’s Marathon season! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Don’t forget about your recovery as well as your training! If your legs are starting to feel those long runs, a sports massage can help ease tightness, support recovery, and keep things moving well as race day approaches.

A few big races coming up:
📅 Brighton Marathon – 12 April
📅 Manchester Marathon – 19 April
📅 London Marathon – 26 April
📅 Edinburgh Marathon – 24 May

It’s a good idea to book in during the lead-up to your race and again afterwards to help your body stay loose before the event and reducing soreness and stiffness after the big effort 💪🏻
