Mobile Sports Massage Therapist in Sheffield - Evidence based sports massage therapy and chronic pain expert.

Hi, I’m Emily

I’m the founder of Framework Sports Massage, a mobile sports massage therapy business based in Sheffield.

I have built a career that brings together parts of my work that I am extremely passionate about. I am a Biomedical Scientist turned Sports Massage Therapist and now I bring evidence based sports massage therapy and pain-care to people in their homes.

This space is the result of my combined experience working in medical science, pain research and now massage therapy. I have supported and continue to support countless people living with pain, through the more challenging moments or just to take some time for themselves.

I provide mobile sports massage and person-centred pain care throughout Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, the Peak District and surrounding areas across South Yorkshire.

My approach is different from the stereotypical “no pain, no gain” image often associated with sports massage.

I believe treatment should work with your body. Not against it.

Whether you’re dealing with persistent or chronic pain, training hard in the gym, preparing for an event, recovering from injury, managing everyday aches and stiffness, or simply wanting time to relax and reset, sessions are tailored around you, your goals and your individual needs.

Treatment Philosophy

Treatments that work with you and your body.

At Framework Sports Massage, I combine hands-on therapy with modern, evidence-informed understanding of pain, movement and recovery.

Treatment Philosophy

🔍

Grounded in evidence, guided by you.

Every technique I use is grounded in current research not outdated ideas about pain and the body.

👥

Person centered care

Sessions are tailored to you. Your goals, your comfort, your lifestyle, and your previous experiences.

❤️

Your comfort leads

Massage pressure is always is always collaborative. I do not dictate the pressure we agree on it together.

🏠

Your space

Mobile appointments mean treatment happens in the comfort of your home — no travel, no clinic waiting rooms.

Forget the idea that sports massage has to be painfully intense to be effective. I help people feel more confident in understanding their bodies and their pain through personalised collaborative care that’s guided by you and the evidence - What actually works rather than what has always been done.

🛡️

Pain is really complex

My background in medical science and pain research understands this deeply and informs every session.

✨

Support beyond the session

You get aftercare guidance, pain management strategies, education and any other help you may need.

My Approach to Pain and Recovery

Living with pain can be frustrating, exhausting and sometimes overwhelming.

Unfortunately, many people are often told that pain automatically means damage, weakness or that something in their body is “wrong.”

Modern pain science shows us that pain is often much more complex than this.

At Framework Sports Massage, I aim to create a calm, supportive and collaborative environment where people feel listened to, respected and understood.

Sessions may include:

  • sports massage therapy

  • soft tissue work

  • movement support

  • recovery strategies

  • education around pain and recovery

  • nervous system-informed approaches

  • pacing and training support

  • relaxation-focused treatment

My goal is not simply to “fix” people, but to help support confidence, comfort, movement and wellbeing in a realistic and sustainable way.
