Twenty-five years of hands on the bodies of Premiership footballers, weekend warriors and people who simply woke up with a neck that won't turn. Sports and remedial massage, delivered by Sally Harding FFHT — clinical, precise, no nonsense.
A Fellow of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, in practice since 1999 — and private therapist to many of the country's most recognised Premiership footballers.
Sally's work sits at the sharp end of soft tissue therapy. Not a spa, not a pamper parlour, not a fluffy robe in sight. This is remedial massage built around diagnosis, treatment and getting you back to the thing your body is stopping you from doing — whether that's a 90-minute fixture, a 10km run, or bending down to pick up your grandchild without swearing.
Her Marchwood clinic, just outside Southampton, draws everyone from professional athletes to people who slept funny and haven't been the same since. The approach is direct, the room is calm, the results tend to speak for themselves.
Every session begins with assessment, not assumption. Treatment is built around your body, your sport, your day job — not a script.
Deep tissue work for athletes and active people. Pre-event prep, post-event recovery, and the maintenance work that keeps injuries from becoming setbacks.
Targeted soft tissue work for chronic pain, injury recovery and the kind of niggles that have been "fine for ages" until suddenly they very much aren't.
Minor joint injuries, postural dysfunction and the long road back from anything that has stopped you moving well. Assessment-led, hands-on, properly progressive.
The unglamorous session that keeps the glamorous ones possible. Regular soft tissue work to catch problems before they become injuries, and injuries before they become surgery.
Highly recommended. Sally's been fixing players for as long as I can remember.Guy Whittingham Portsmouth FC
"Sally sorted a long-running calf issue I'd all but given up on. Two sessions and I was back running properly. She knows exactly what she's feeling for."
"Booked in with a back that had been bad for six weeks. Walked out standing properly for the first time in months. Genuinely the best sports massage I've had."
"No fluff, no upselling, just proper remedial work from someone who clearly understands the body. Sally's been doing this a long time and it shows in every minute."
