Recently we have added to the team at Hawkes Physiotherapy. We are always striving to improve the service that we can provide to you. Due to this, we now have a fully qualified sports massage therapist available at both of our clinics in Talke and Stoke:  Now, sports massage isn't just beneficial for sports people it can help many issues and is supported by good evidence too.  So what can it help?   Some people are concerned that sports massage is painful and will leave you feeling bruised afterwards but this just isn't the case. The aim of treatment is to work with you to find the ideal pressure to ensure that you leave feeling better and not worse. So what does it cost? Well, at both clinics, the first session is £15 for a 30 minute sports massage and this is £25 thereafter. For a 45 minute sports massage the first session is £25 and £35 thereafter.
