Sports massage is often associated with athletes, intense pressure and post-training soreness.
But your body doesn’t have to be competing to need recovery.
Long hours at a desk can leave your shoulders and back feeling restricted. Training can create accumulated muscular tension. Physical work can place repeated demands on the same areas. Even everyday life can gradually change the way you move.
At The Recovery Row, treatment begins with the individual — not a generic routine.
We look at where you feel discomfort, how your body is moving, what your lifestyle demands from you and what you’re hoping to achieve.
From there, treatment can be adapted around your needs.
Gervaze – our lead male sports therapist or masseur – takes a hands-on, client-focused approach to sports massage, with treatment shaped around what each person is experiencing rather than following the same sequence for everyone.
Clients have specifically highlighted his knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, welcoming manner and ability to explain what may be contributing to muscular tightness or discomfort.
Hands-on expertise meets modern recovery technology with a personalised approach to helping your body move, recover and perform at its best. Every treatment combines targeted sports massage, movement assessment, myofascial and trigger point techniques, dry needling and deep tissue work, with pressure and techniques adapted to your individual needs and recovery goals. Infrared recovery technology complements the hands-on treatment, helping prepare muscles and enhance the overall recovery experience.

I’ve previously never had a sports massage prior to the one I had earlier today. I’ve got to say after having it I’ll definitely be going back a lot in the future. A massive thanks to Gervaze who was very welcoming, informative and just made the overall experience an absolute pleasure throughout. He really is a master of his craft and I would highly recommend booking in with him. I’ve got to say after seeing him my pre-existing aches and pains feel a million times better. I look forward to seeing him in the future and once again I’d recommend him. Many thanks Gervaze and see you soonPosted on Google![]()

I recently had a sports massage with Gervaze and couldn’t recommend him enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly takes great pride in the service he provides. I had been struggling with my grip during weight training, and after seeing Gervaze, I noticed a huge improvement the very next day at the gym. My body feels amazing, and I felt instantly refreshed after the session. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality sports massage. I’ll definitely be coming back!Posted on Google![]()

I came to Gervaze with a persistent back injury that had been affecting me for a while. From the first session the difference was noticeable he took the time to understand exactly what was going on and tailored the treatment accordingly rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. The premises is clean and professional and the whole experience felt genuinely therapeutic. I have been back several times since and would not hesitate to recommend Gervaze to anyone dealing with a back issue or sports injury. Exceptional service.Posted on Google![]()

I was recommended to speak to Gervaze about my shoulder injury . Never had a sports massage before and what a difference it made even on my first visit. Been back since and booked in again soon, best decision I made for my health and going to the gym it helps with my recovery. Highly recommend Thanks again Dan
