At Meadowside Osteopathy, we believe that everybody tells a story, one shaped by movement, lifestyle, and experience. Our role is to help that story unfold with greater ease, balance, and comfort.
We offer specialist sports massage in Farnham, supporting clients across Hampshire and Surrey who wish to move well, recover fully, and invest in their long-term physical wellbeing.
Our practitioners bring together over a decade of experience in sports massage, deep tissue therapy, and soft tissue rehabilitation, supported by advanced training in anatomy, biomechanics, and hands-on therapy. Each session is carried out with clinical expertise and a genuine warmth that makes you feel both cared for and understood.
Set within our calm, beautifully kept clinic in the heart of Farnham, we combine the standards of a medical practice with the comfort and attentiveness of a boutique wellness space, trusted by our community for care that feels both professional and personal.
Sports massage is a specialised form of therapeutic treatment that works deeply into the muscles, fascia, and connective tissues. It relieves tension, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural repair processes, helping you move with greater freedom and comfort.
It’s not only for athletes. Many of our clients are professionals managing postural tension, parents balancing busy lives, or individuals simply seeking to maintain mobility and ease.
Every treatment reflects our ethos: we meet you where you are, listen carefully, and tailor your care to your body’s needs. Our aim is not just to release tension, but to help you feel genuinely restored.
Targeted, deep-tissue work releases tension, alleviates discomfort, and restores natural, pain-free movement.
Lengthening tight muscles and restoring tissue health improves flexibility, coordination, and the quality of everyday motion.
Improved blood flow promotes faster repair and recovery, helping you return to activity feeling stronger and more balanced.
Precise, controlled techniques aid tissue healing, reduce scarring, and restore optimal movement patterns.
Regular massage maintains healthy, resilient muscles, reducing the risk of recurring tension and injury.
Sports massage is ideal for anyone wishing to feel more comfortable and capable in their own body.
It can help with:
Whether you are training for an event, recovering from injury, or simply striving for comfort and freedom of movement, sports massage offers a restorative way to reconnect with how your body moves and feels.
At Meadowside Osteopathy, we combine advanced clinical understanding with intuitive, hands-on skill. Our practitioners are not only highly qualified in manual therapy but also passionate about movement, recovery, and the art of helping people feel their best.
We believe that effective treatment begins with connection. From the moment you arrive, we take the time to understand your health, lifestyle, and goals, ensuring your session is tailored with both precision and care.
Our therapists use a blend of advanced techniques including:
This integrated approach allows us to address both symptoms and the underlying patterns that cause them, creating results that are both immediate and enduring
Our sports massage treatments are delivered by osteopaths and soft tissue specialists with extensive experience working with clients across Farnham, Hampshire, and Surrey.
You may be treated by Emily, Ashley, or Shania, each a highly skilled practitioner known for combining technical excellence with a warm, approachable manner. With backgrounds in osteopathy, rehabilitation, and soft tissue therapy, they bring depth, understanding, and genuine compassion to every treatment.
We believe that expertise and empathy should always go hand in hand, and that how we care for you is just as important as the results we achieve together.
Your first session begins with an unhurried conversation about your health, lifestyle, and what you’d like to achieve. A brief assessment allows us to identify areas of tension or imbalance, followed by a tailored treatment designed specifically for you.
The massage itself blends deep, focused techniques with restorative movement work to encourage tissue healing, improve mobility, and relieve discomfort.
We’ll finish with simple, practical advice, which may involve stretches, movement awareness, or small adjustments you can make day to day.
Our goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, more aligned, and quietly energised, the kind of ease that lasts long after you’ve left the clinic.
Absolutely. Sports massage is for anyone who values their physical health — from those training regularly to those managing the demands of work, family, or simply modern life.
Sports massage is more specific and goal-oriented. It targets muscular restriction and imbalance, while still providing the deeply restorative benefits of touch and relaxation.
You may experience moments of intensity as tension is released, but it should always feel constructive and controlled — never painful. We work closely with you to ensure comfort throughout
Yes. Many clients find that combining sports massage with osteopathy or rehabilitation accelerates progress and helps maintain long-term balance.
For general maintenance, a session every four to six weeks is often ideal. During injury recovery or intense training phases, weekly sessions can be particularly effective.
Many clients notice a difference immediately — improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and an overall sense of lightness and ease. Regular treatments build on these results, promoting strength, flexibility, and resilience over time.
We see ourselves as partners in your health — helping you move, live, and feel with greater ease, confidence, and connection to your body.

A strong understanding of the human body and how it functions is critical for any sports massage therapist. At Meadowside, our therapists bring expert knowledge and years of experience to help alleviate muscle tension, pain, and discomfort.
Sports massage is a highly effective approach to releasing tension that builds up in muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues. It specifically targets deeper muscle layers and knots that often develop from intense sports training, regular exercise, or even day-to-day activities. Over time, this tension can affect flexibility, performance, and overall comfort.
But sports massage isn’t just for athletes! Whether you’re active in sports or dealing with the strains of everyday life, sports massage techniques can help nearly anyone feel better, move more freely, and recover faster from aches, stiffness, and soreness.
In addition to traditional massage methods, Sports Massage often incorporates a variety of specialised techniques to maximise recovery, such as:
At Meadowside, we tailor every treatment to the specific needs of each individual. Our massage therapies draw from a variety of disciplines, including Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Remedial Massage, and Relaxation Massage.
This personalised approach ensures that you receive the best possible care, whether you’re recovering from injury, managing muscle pain, or simply looking to relax.

Helpful and accessible, got me back on my feet after a short course of therapyPosted on Lara MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first experience with an osteopath, and I was so impressed by Shania’s approach and level of care. I came in for wrist pain that had been getting progressively worse over a few weeks, to the point where I was almost in tears. She was able to get to the source of the pain, and after just one session, the pain had completely cleared within a few days. Couldn’t recommend her more!Posted on Hannah DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend Meadowside and its team enough. I have visited them for a number of reasons over the last 4 years (headaches during pregnancy, treatment for my 3 month old baby and back issues) and each time they have delivered an excellent service.Posted on Francesca NichollsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily has been fantastic in making me as comfortable as possible in the latter stages of a twin pregnancy. Would recommend to anyone as an essential treatment!Posted on Patrick WellsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Meadowside has been great! Shania has been helping me as I have had prolonged issues with my sinus. She has really helped with this and also located problems with my neck. Altea has also been really welcoming. I would definitely recommend :)Posted on Hetty CannonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just took my 14 year old son, who is struggling with a rugby injury, to see Ashley. We were both SO impressed. Hugely knowledgable, so easy to talk to and clear in his thoughts and explanations and most of all gave my son an incredible treatment. He is already feeling so much better. Honestly I’ve seen many professionals for various injuries for myself and my family over the years and he was one of the best. I highly recommend him.Posted on Alex StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional, friendly and excellent service from Ashley and the team. He has really helped me made progress with a long-standing issue with my back. Would thoroughly recommend!Posted on Gavin CumberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the staff at Meadowside are fantastic. From tailoring packages based on your medical needs to their suggestions for corrective treatments to best get the job done.Posted on Liz WenmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is always a relief to book my appointments with Meadowside. From the friendly people on the phone, the warm welcome at reception and then of course the treatment that is gentle and mindful of my body issues. I always leave feeling better in all ways and highly recommend this practice to others.Posted on Michele FearnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you come to Meadowside Osteopathy you will have an excellent experience. From the moment I arrived it felt different to the usual clinics, I felt valued, welcomed and listened to. Altea is so hospitable and efficient. They take time to understand my symptoms and medical history, and the treatment is effective. Ashley is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and also the other members of the team if you are looking for an osteopath.
