Tessa Glover
Sports massage

Book appointment
Contact Tessa
Tessa is our sports and remedial massage therapist. This means that as well as working with sporty people, she also works to aid recovery from occupational postural issues, surgery or injuries that may not be related to sports.

Tessa's massage is deep tissue, using a combination of techniques including muscular release, trigger point, stretch and traction as well as good strong massage strokes.  She aims to target and release stubborn areas in the muscle to ensure good function and movement in all areas of the body.  

She works closely with athletes during their training programmes to help boost the body's performance and to prevent and aid injury recovery.  


 Whether you are suffering with a long-standing pain, an acute new injury or are aware of the value of regular sports massage then Tessa will help you with her expert skill and solid understanding of muscle function and injury rehab.

See Tessa for:
* keeping your muscles in optimum condition during heavy periods of training
* release of stubborn tensions and persistent injuries
* help in recovering from injury to get you back to training
* pre and post-event massage to prepare you for competition and boost recovery

Tessa is at WNT on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays

What clients say about Tessa


I went to see Tessa Glover on the advice of a cyclist friend who knew I'd been suffering from an upper shoulder/back pain for a few weeks. Nothing I'd managed to do could shift it - rest was also not working! I saw Tessa twice - and after just the first visit the pain was 80% reduced. She pinpointed what was wrong swiftly, dealt with the areas contributing but crucially gave me the knowledge I needed to better understand what was wrong - which often is I think such an important part of the cure.  I'd recommend anyone to see her, she's excellent and her manner on top of it all is comforting and re-assuring and deeply knowledgeable."

Tessa says:
Sports and remedial massage is not just for sports people.  Many of my clients come to me with a range of conditions from postural problems caused by desk bound jobs to rehabilitation following injury or surgery.  

The sports people I see come for a variety of reasons: injury prevention, post injury rehab, pre and post event and for maintenance massage.


 I like to use a variety of techniques in my treatments from friction, deep tissue and trigger-point work to Muscle Energy Technique and Soft Tissue Release.  

 I also use medical acupuncture (always discussed with and agreed to by the client beforehand) to release particularly stubborn trigger points in the muscle and to assist with breaking down scar tissue.

 I believe in good therapist/client communication to achieve the most beneficial results from treatments.

 I have massaged at events such as the London Marathon,  The Royal Parks and Run to the Beat half marathons and The Ride It-King of the Downs cycle event.

 I run, cycle and play tennis.
