Sam Bellarby

I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Massage and am currently in my final year of an MSc in Physiotherapy at Edinburgh Napier University, having previously earned a BSc in Applied Sport Science. My background has given me a strong understanding of human movement and musculoskeletal function, which informs my approach to massage therapy and helps me effectively address areas of tension and discomfort.

I take a holistic and client-centred approach to massage, beginning with a thorough assessment to identify problem areas and tailor my techniques accordingly. I specialize in sports massage, which uses targeted deep tissue work to alleviate muscle tightness, aid recovery, and enhance performance—ideal for athletes and those with physically demanding lifestyles. At the same time, I recognize the benefits of therapeutic massage, which focuses on relaxation, circulation, and general well-being. Whether a client needs intensive deep tissue treatment or a more restorative session, I adapt my approach to meet their needs effectively.

With my education and hands-on experience, I understand the diverse needs of clients and personalize each treatment to ensure the best possible care.
