Meet Mathew
Meet your Sports Massage Therapist
Hi, I'm Mathew, founder of Beyond the Finish Sports Therapy, a qualified sports therapist. My practice is built on a clinical, evidence-based approach to soft-tissue therapy, supported by both formal training and extensive real-world experience in endurance sports. As an ultra runner, keen cyclist, swimmer, climber, and outdoor adventurer—essentially anything that gets my heart pumping—I have a deep, practical understanding of the physical stresses placed on the body and the importance of structured performance recovery.
I provide targeted, outcome-focused sports massage therapy within a safe and controlled environment. Each treatment is designed to address specific musculoskeletal issues, support tissue repair, improve functional movement, and enhance overall physical performance. Whether managing injury, reducing pain from day-to-day muscle tension and aches, or optimising recovery. My goal is to deliver effective and measurable results for every client.
