Ailish first fell in love with sports massage while studying dance, having had an almost-miraculous improvement (as she describes it) in her leg pain after her first session. Ailish fully embraced the clinic's unique approach to bodywork when she joined over a year ago, helping clients reduce muscle-related pain and discomfort with massage and gentle exercise & stretches.
In her spare time she continues dancing, cycling and running, as well as volunteering pre- and post-event massages for various charities. Ailish is available at Walthamstow on Mondays & Thursdays and alternate Saturdays. She is also available at Leyton on Tuesdays. Aiden qualified in massage therapy in 2012 after leaving a career in corporate finance.
He draws on his experience in multiple modalities (reflexology, Swedish, Indian Head Massage, sports massage) to create a unique experience for our clients who visit him at Angel. Having spent years at a desk he's acutely aware of how hard the office environment can be on the body.

Leyton Sports Massage was founded in 2010, in the Leyton Mills Shopping Centre (before the Westfield was even open - can you remember what it was like then!).
I had one simple idea - provide quality sport & remedial massage therapy to the residents of East London, and help people understand how they can better take care of themselves.
Luckily, it turns out a lot of people really like walking out of a massage therapy session not only feeling better but also with a better picture of potential causes for their problems and an idea of how they can start preventing them from coming back.

Well I have now had 4 sessions and it has been a great experience.
Katherine is able to check my posture and do the normal assessment.
Of course, it is different - Katherine talks me through stretches or where to focus for muscle releases, in a tailored way to what problem is being looked at.
I was worried that it would be hard to articulate the pain I was experiencing and get effective treatment remotely.
Having had a number of distance sessions during lockdown in place of a monthly hands-on massages, I would say it's been a really valuable experience as it's given me some great tools and techniques and has given me the confidence to self-massage in between sessions.

At Leyton Sports Massage, one of our values is accessibility - this means that everyone should have access to resources to help them live pain-free.
To that end, we offer a few low cost or free resources to people where the cost of our regular sessions are out of reach.
Resources on our website via our articles (we have had clients fix themselves with our series on topics like stretching or activation).
Low Cost Clinic - a number of off-peak slots allocated for clients who are unable to afford our normal rates.
