Sports Massage
in Knottingley
Focused deep tissue and sports massage from a Level 4 therapist with 9+ years' experience. Private appointment-only sessions inside Formula Fitness, Mastercraft Building, Knottingley WF11.
Hands-on treatment, not a spa routine
Sports massage uses targeted, hands-on technique to work into the muscle layers and help ease tension that builds up from training, physical work or daily routine. It's not the same as a relaxation massage — the pressure is more focused, and the session is shaped around where your body actually needs attention.
Deep tissue massage follows the same principle, concentrating on the deeper layers of muscle tissue that surface-level work doesn't reach. The two approaches are often combined in the same session depending on what you need.
Sessions start with a short conversation about your training, your work, what's been bothering you and what you want to get from the appointment. Treatment is shaped from there — it's not a standard template applied to every client the same way.
Sports massage isn't just for athletes
You don't need to be competing in anything. These sessions are for people who use their bodies — and feel it.
Gym members and lifters
You train hard — weights, classes, or both — and your body doesn't always recover fully between sessions. Tight glutes, aching shoulders, heavy legs that won't loosen up. A focused hands-on session can help ease the build-up and support recovery between training days.
Runners and weekend athletes
Your legs take a lot week to week. Tight calves, sore hips, tension along the side of the knee — these sessions can help ease the load and support a more comfortable recovery between runs, cycles or events.
Desk and shift workers
Sitting at a screen all day or standing on your feet for hours builds up a different kind of tension — neck, upper back, shoulders, lower back. You don't need to call yourself athletic to benefit from a proper hands-on session aimed at where the strain sits.
People with everyday tension
Not training for anything, just carrying tightness and discomfort that won't shift? That's reason enough to book. General stiffness and aches from daily routine can often benefit from a focused session tailored to where you need it most.
Clear, structured sessions from start to finish
Every appointment follows a straightforward structure so your time on the table is spent where it matters most.
Short consultation
A brief check-in when you arrive. You'll talk through your training, your routine, what's been bothering you and what you want from the session. No lengthy forms — just a practical conversation.
Focused assessment
A quick assessment helps identify which areas need the most work and how to best use the session time. Treatment is tailored to your body, not a fixed routine.
Hands-on treatment
Most of the session is hands-on treatment — deep tissue work, sports massage technique, and depending on your booking, cupping or stretching where useful. Focused on where your body needs it.
Aftercare guidance
Before you leave, practical aftercare advice — stretches, recovery habits and what to expect in the hours after the session.
Sports & deep tissue massage
Three session lengths available. Choose based on how much you need to cover and how long it's been building up.
Not sure which length to choose? Call or email — Jody can help you decide based on what you're dealing with. Block booking discounts available on request.

Sports massage — questions answered
Do I need to be sporty to book?
Not at all. Sports massage is for anyone — gym members, runners, desk workers and people who just carry everyday muscle tension. You don't need to be training for anything to benefit from a hands-on session.
What should I wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing you're happy to have moved around. You'll only need to undress to your own comfort level, and you'll be kept covered with a sheet throughout the session.
Is sports massage painful?
Deeper pressure can feel intense on tight areas, but it shouldn't be sharp or unbearable. Jody will check in on pressure throughout. If anything feels too much, let her know and she'll adjust accordingly.
How do I book?
Call 07944 876932 or message on WhatsApp. Booking is by phone or WhatsApp only — there's no online booking at this time.
Where are you based?
The treatment room is inside Formula Fitness, Mastercraft Building, Great North Road, Knottingley WF11 8PF. It's a private, appointment-only space — not accessible through a general gym visit. Call or email first to arrange your session.
How often should I have sports massage?
That depends on your training load, lifestyle and what you're managing. Some clients come monthly for general maintenance; others book more regularly during heavy training periods. Jody can advise on what makes sense for your situation when you get in touch.
