What I do

One therapist.
Four ways to fix you.

Every session starts with what's actually bothering you — a match-day niggle, a desk-job back, a hip that won't open up — and ends with a plan, not just a rub down.

S·01

Sports Massage

Deep-tissue work for training aches, tight backs, shoulders and legs. Built around your sport and your week — not a spa routine.

from £35Prices →
S·02

Cupping & Hijama

Traditional wet and dry cupping done properly — sterile, single-use cups, clear aftercare. Popular with athletes for recovery.

from £25Learn more →
S·03

Mobility & Stretching

Stiff hips, locked-up shoulders, hamstrings that ruin your squat. Hands-on release plus a stretching programme you keep.

from £35Learn more →
S·04

Gym Programmes

A simple gym plan targeted at what we find on the table — so the problem gets fixed between sessions, not just managed.

The therapist

Treated like
an athlete.

I grew up inside academy football — Manchester City and Stoke City — where treatment tables, recovery rooms and physio plans were part of daily life. That's the standard I bring to every client, whether you're a Sunday-league striker or you've just done your back in the garden.

Qualified Level 3 in sports massage and trained in hijama, I work with athletes, gym-goers and everyday bodies across Greater Manchester — at my base in M16 or in your living room.

Dry cupping session — cups placed along the back
Cupping · Hijama

Cupping done properly.

Whether you want dry cupping for recovery or traditional wet hijama, every session follows the same standard:

  • Sterile, single-use cups — everything opened in front of you, nothing reused.
  • Placement that means something — targeted to your training load and problem areas, not random spots.
  • Clear aftercare — you leave knowing exactly what to expect over the next few days.

Assisted stretching — working on a client's shoulder
Mobility · Stretching

Stiff hips.
Locked shoulders.
Sorted.

Massage gets you out of pain. Mobility work keeps you out of it. Sessions combine hands-on release with assisted stretching — then you get a short programme to run in the gym so the fix sticks.

"I came in with a super stiff hip and shoulders that barely moved. He released them on the table, then gave me a stretching and gym programme to follow. The difference has stayed."

"Life changer. I was sore for like 1 year and tried many different things until I went to Ali for therapy with massage and cupping. I already feel much better and I would definitely recommend this to anyone with aches/pains or even for just relief. 10/10"

"Worth every bit of the 2-hour drive! I went in dealing with severe left knee pain and had a sports massage and cupping done by Ali. Ali's customer service and hospitality were phenomenal."

FAQ

Before you ask.

Does sports massage hurt?

It works at the depth your muscles need, and you're in control the whole way — say the word and the pressure changes. Expect "good sore" the next day, not bruises.

What's the difference between dry cupping and hijama?

Dry cupping uses suction only — great for recovery and tight muscle. Hijama (wet cupping) adds small, superficial incisions in the traditional way. Both are done with sterile single-use cups, and everything is explained before anything touches your skin.

Do I need to be an athlete?

No. Half the job is desk backs, driver's shoulders and stiff hips from sitting. The "sports" part is the standard of treatment, not a door policy.

Where are you based — and do you really come to me?

The base is in M16, Manchester. Home visits run across all of Greater Manchester with a small travel fee by distance — the full table and kit come to you.

How do I pay?

Pay per session — cash or bank transfer on the day. Memberships and session packs are paid up front.
