Are you feeling worn out from your daily routine and in need of a rejuvenating experience? Proactive Rehab in Norwich offers a specialised service that can help revitalise your body.
At ProActive Rehab, we specialise in sports massage and manual therapy in Norwich, helping athletes, active individuals, and those struggling with chronic pain or injuries. Our tailored approach goes beyond standard massage techniques, integrating advanced therapies like trigger point therapy to target deep-seated muscle tension and improve overall function.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, preparing for a competition, or simply looking to ease muscle tightness, sports massage therapy can play a crucial role in your recovery and performance.
What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a targeted treatment designed to address muscle tightness, pain, and restricted movement. Unlike traditional relaxation massage, sports massage incorporates a variety of advanced techniques to:
✔ Reduce muscle soreness and tension
✔ Improve flexibility and range of motion
✔ Enhance circulation and speed up recovery
✔ Break down adhesions and scar tissue
✔ Prevent injuries and improve performance
The Role of Trigger Point Therapy in Sports Massage
One of the most effective techniques we incorporate into our sports massage sessions is trigger point therapy. This method focuses on myofascial trigger points—tight knots within the muscle that cause pain and restrict movement.
Benefits of Trigger Point Therapy:
✅ Relieves chronic muscle pain caused by overuse or poor posture
✅ Reduces referred pain (e.g. tension headaches, shoulder pain, or sciatica-like symptoms)
✅ Breaks down knots and adhesions in tight muscle tissue
✅ Enhances mobility and prevents re-injury
Common conditions we treat using trigger point therapy in Norwich include:
✔ Lower back pain
✔ Neck and shoulder tension
✔ Tight hamstrings and calf muscles
✔ Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
✔ Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
By combining trigger point therapy with deep tissue techniques and stretching, we provide a comprehensive sports massage treatment tailored to your needs.
Sports massage isn’t just for athletes—it’s highly effective for anyone suffering from muscle pain, stiffness, or movement restrictions. At ProActive Rehab, we treat:
✔ Athletes and gym-goers – to enhance performance and prevent injuries
✔ Office workers and manual labourers – to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain
✔ Individuals recovering from injuries – to speed up healing and improve function
✔ People with chronic pain conditions – such as fibromyalgia, sciatica, and arthritis
Whether you’re training hard, recovering from an injury, or dealing with everyday aches and pains, our sports massage in Norwich can help you move and feel better.

Posted on Google Lianne HunterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Alfie throughout my Ironman training, and I honestly couldn’t have got through it without him. He’s helped me manage all the inevitable niggles and kept me training consistently, always taking the time to understand what was going on and finding the right treatment. Alfie is also super friendly and easy to chat to, which makes every appointment a genuinely nice experience—even when the treatment itself is a bit uncomfortable! He always puts you at ease and explains everything clearly. I’d highly recommend Alfie to anyone, whether you’re training for an endurance event or just looking for a knowledgeable, approachable physio.Posted on Google aaeron mossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked in with Alfie with a rotator cuff issue. Couldn't be more pleased with the outcome after a couple of months of rehab. His professionalism and knowledge is of the highest standard and I couldn't recommend him enough. Any future issues I will always re book with himPosted on Google A ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first physiotherapy appointment with Libby, and it was a very positive experience. I had been having back muscle pain after my hamstring injury. Libby carefully assessed my back, explained the possible cause of the pain, and gave me some exercises to help improve it. She was kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her.Posted on Google Jasmine WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came in to see Alfie for physiotherapy due to a hip injury. He is super knowledgeable, talked me through everything - 4 weeks post-treatment, and it is so much better! Highly recommended.Posted on Google Hayley KenzieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a discussion with a friend about a back injury/back pain I had been struggling with, I was recommended to book with Libby for a pain assessment at body reset. Firstly we had a discussion about the history surrounding my back pain and recent events that have exacerbated it. Libby was really lovely and friendly which put me at ease as I haven’t done anything like this previously. Today I have had my first physio session with Libby and she carried out a number of assessments which have also identified areas of weakness which may also be contributing to my back pain. Libby is very knowledgeable and it’s really quite interesting to hear about the contributing factors I wasn’t aware of. I have got myself some homework in terms of strengthening and stretching exercises to do at home and we finished my session with some soft tissue work to aid the acute niggles and discomfort which I really did appreciate! Thank you again to Libby for your expertise today, and I’m looking forward to finally making progress with my back issue I have been ignoring for far too long!!Posted on Google Maddy TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a visit with Libby today and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She explained everything really clearly and demonstrated all the exercises she asked me to do so I wouldn’t get confused. She answered all my questions in detail and put my mind at ease when I asked about my injury. I will definitely be back!Posted on Google LiamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. BodyReset has been the best clinic I've gone to and I have been to many! I started with Alfie 3-4 months ago, first with terrible knees, it was painful to walk and to train. I had many challenges and Alfie helped me with a personalised plan after carrying out some tests, just 6 weeks down the line progress and improvements occurred and Alfie would tweak and change the plan to keep the recovery going. After the knees, I also had my shoulders to fix! I couldnt even put on a paper weight face mask on at work! Again through some tests and a personalized plan, I have noticed a massive improvement. I can now train at the gym, do kickboxing without these injuries in the way and I have had these injuries all my life. I highly recommend Alfie and I highly recommend BodyReset!Posted on Google Emily SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would 100% recommend anyone looking for a sports massage or physio to visit Alfie at Body Reset. I’d never been for one before but was experiencing a lot of pain/tension in my shoulders and neck, after many word of mouth recommendations for Alfie, I decided to pay a visit. Every session I’ve been made to feel super comfortable, honest feedback and insight, not jargon or theories, just black and white. And every time the pain is feeling much more manageable and freer. Thank you!!Posted on Google Ajay TavaresTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a 60 minute massage with libby at body reset Norwich and it was a top experience, had a lovely chat with libby and she made me comfortable from the start I walked in.Posted on Google Lewis DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve recently had Physio and Sports Massage with Alfie and it was a very positive experience. Alfie is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and takes a genuine interest in my lifestyle, training and recovery. I was suffering with calf issues and ankle pain prior to my first session and the rehab programme Alfie put together has helped tremendously! Would highly recommend!
