Cathy Garner‑Richardson — Sports Massage / Deep Tissue Therapy

Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Therapy support both active individuals and those managing everyday physical demands. Whether you’re training regularly, returning from injury, or simply feeling the effects of work, parenting, or busy weekends, Cathy provides targeted soft‑tissue treatment to help you move comfortably and confidently.

Cathy is a Level 4 Sports Therapist (ActiveIQ) and founder of CGR Sports Therapy. Her background in netball, Japanese Jiu Jitsu (black belt), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, gym‑based training and touch rugby gives her a practical understanding of how the body responds to load, stress and recovery — informing her approach with every client.

Benefits of Treatment

  • Improved tissue function — helping muscles work more efficiently and comfortably during sport and daily activity.
  • Support for ongoing niggles — addressing recurring tension from training, work posture, or weekend activities.
  • Enhanced circulation — promoting nutrient delivery and tissue recovery.
  • Reduced build‑up of muscular fatigue — helping you feel fresher between sessions, matches, or busy weeks.
  • Greater overall physical ease — supporting relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of wellbeing.

These benefits apply equally to athletes, recreational exercisers and anyone experiencing day‑to‑day muscular tension — including parents spending long hours spectating or carrying kit around the STV!
