Frequently Asked questions
What do I need to wear for my appointment?
Wear something comfortable that allows easy access to the area being treated. Sportswear such as shorts, leggings, or a T-shirt is ideal. If needed, you may be asked to adjust clothing during the session, but your comfort and privacy will always be respected.
Do you only treat sports injuries and athletes?
No. While we work with athletes at all levels, we also treat non-athletes and people dealing with everyday aches, pains, and injuries. Sports therapy is suitable for anyone looking to improve movement, manage pain, or recover from injury, whether caused by sport, work, or daily life.
What is the difference between sports therapy and physiotherapy?
Sports therapists and physiotherapists both treat injuries and support rehabilitation. Sports therapy focuses heavily on movement, performance, and return to activity, using hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation, and injury prevention strategies. Physiotherapy is often more clinically based and may be more NHS-led. Both are effective, and the best option depends on your needs and goals.
Do I need a GP referral to book an appointment?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Fortress Sports Therapy without seeing a GP or healthcare professional first.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions including muscle strains, joint pain, back and neck pain, sports injuries, overuse injuries, and postural issues. We also support recovery, injury prevention, and performance improvement.
Is sports massage painful?
Sports massage can involve deep tissue work, which may feel uncomfortable at times, but it should never be unbearable. Treatment is always adapted to your tolerance and comfort level.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your injury, symptoms, and goals. Some clients feel improvement after one session, while others benefit from a treatment plan over several sessions. This will be discussed during your appointment.
Do you offer rehabilitation and exercise programmes?
Yes. We provide tailored rehabilitation and exercise programmes to support recovery, prevent re-injury, and improve movement and performance.
