About Ache Away
Ache Away is a specialist massage and bodywork practice run by Vanessa, offering targeted, evidence-informed treatment for people dealing with muscle pain, injury, and physical discomfort. The practice focuses on sports and remedial massage therapy, bringing a systematic, assessment-led approach to every session rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
At the heart of what Ache Away offers is sports and deep tissue massage, delivered as both standalone treatments and as part of a broader recovery or rehabilitation plan. Sports massage addresses the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue of the body, working to assist in rehabilitation, pain management and injury recovery — making it relevant not just for athletes but for anyone experiencing muscular tension, postural issues or movement dysfunction. Deep tissue massage works along similar principles, targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension and support the body's natural recovery processes. Alongside these core treatments, Ache Away also offers kinesiology taping, using elastic sports tape to assist muscle function and support the body during recovery or activity.
What sets Ache Away apart is the attention given to the whole recovery journey. Vanessa can advise on rehabilitation exercises and stretches tailored to a specific injury, movement dysfunction, or where postural correction is needed — giving clients practical tools to support their progress between sessions. This rounded approach reflects the practice's remedial focus: treatment is not simply about relieving symptoms in the moment, but about understanding the underlying cause and helping clients move and feel better over time.
Ache Away holds membership with the Sports Massage Association (SMA), a professional body that sets standards for practice in the field of sports and remedial massage therapy. This membership signals a commitment to professional standards and ongoing practice within a recognised framework.
Ache Away is well suited to anyone managing a sports injury, recovering from a muscular strain, living with chronic tension or discomfort, or simply looking for skilled, purposeful bodywork that goes beyond relaxation. Whether you are an active person looking to maintain performance, or someone whose daily routine has left you with persistent aches and restricted movement, Ache Away offers focused, professional care designed to help you feel and function better.
