Sports Massage for Teams, Clubs and Athletic Events in Scotland

After years of running a successful sports massage clinic in Edinburgh, I now only offer my services to teams, clubs and related athletic events. I offer my services throughout Central Scotland (Fife, Lothians, Borders, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth) and sometimes further away (e.g. travel to Rugby 7s tournaments).

I have worked with the national rugby teams for Scotland and Argentina during the Autumn Nations Series and the Six Nations Tournament. I have also treated various professional and semi-pro rugby and football players along with main card Muay Thai fighters. When I ran my clinic, I also frequently treated runners (road & trail), climbers, Hyrox Pro athletes, power lifters & Olympic lifters, and a variety of other athletes.

How it works?

  • Teams/clubs book my time and arrange for their players/members to book slots with me.

  • Minimum booking: 3 hours (+15 minute break). Maximum booking 5 hours (+ 30 minute break). Treatments can range from 20-60 minutes per player/member.

  • My prices start at £120 for 3-hour bookings in my immediate area (Fife). Increased travel and treatment time, as well as optional towel service, increase prices.

  • High quality, cushioned massage table provided, along with cushions/bolsters and lotion. I have various sizes of table to accommodate different spaces and body types. (These are not firm physio plinths or cheap creaky Amazon tables.)

  • Ideally teams or players themselves provide towels (one per client/session). If not, I can provide towels for an additional fee.

  • I am hired by teams/clubs, not individual players. I offer two payment options: deposit in advance and balance paid within 30 days; or full payment on day of service. I accept cash, card, and bank transfer.

  • I only treat players/club members who are actively playing, training or rehabbing (under physio supervision). I do not treat friends & family.

  • My details, qualification certificates and proof of insurance are available upon request (ITEC and ActiveIQ). Note well: virtually no sports massage insurance will cover liability for professional athletes. Professional teams and players will be required to release me of any liability. If this sounds odd to you, please trust me that you have probably hired “qualified and insured” sports massage therapists in the past without realising that their insurance will not cover professional athletes. Professional teams and athletes should consult their own insurance. I am happy for my work to be supervised by a team physiotherapist and/or clinical director. All injuries should be disclosed to me in advance of treatment. Information about injuries will always be kept confidential, and I am happy to sign an NDA reflecting this.

What My Clients Say

  • "...the impact was immediate. After weeks of struggling, I was back to running! The sessions are incredibly chilled. As someone who never expected to have regular sports massages, the physical and mental health impacts are incredible."

    Russell, Ultra Marathon Runner

  • "I've had other massages before but have always felt they were painful and awkward and didn't really see any benefit. But today I left feeling relaxed and recharged. Will definitely be returning."

    Jason, Personal Trainer & Power Lifting Coach

  • "Sam has been a lifesaver... While the physical recovery a good massage brings is well known, something that's helped me even more is the mental recovery."

    Connor, Muay Thai Fighter
