Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy is a system based on an in-depth knowledge of surface anatomy and physiology, along with an understanding of the physical demands of various sports and the application of specific techniques to assess and manipulate the soft tissues of the body, to prevent or rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries.
By palpation, the therapist is able to locate, identify and treat areas of specific tensions within the tissues that could lead to potential injury sites.
Sports massage is adapted to the needs of each individual and is not just for athletes. It is also beneficial to people who suffer from general aches and pains usually brought on by repetitive movements at work or more commonly bad posture. Through treatment, the build-up of aches and pains that are often ignored or suppressed with drugs can be alleviated and the risk of further, more serious injury can be reduced. If you’re suffering from a sports related injury, call Castle Clinic to find out how we can help you.

Grant Ellis2024-01-24As someone who has suffered with lower back pain for some years, I have found that the osteopathic treatment I’ve had at Castle Clinic, followed by monthly ‘maintenance’ appointments has made a huge difference to my well-being. The practitioners and reception staff are all very friendly and caring, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I have recommended Castle Clinic to friends and family who are are all very impressed with their treatment.
James Towler2024-01-23I consult Jon Rebanks for physiotherapy when I need treatment the aches and pains we all get in life from time to time. I always feel that I am working with the best physio in the Harrogate area.
Paul Williams2024-01-22Excellent physio. Jon has been able to help me get back the full movement of my shoulder - which had been causing me pain for a number of years. He's massively improved my golf swing with the exercises and treatment he provided. He is also a really nice person.
Richard Jackson2024-01-20Jonathan (Jon) Rebanks is an excellent Physiotherapist, he has treated me for back pain, for a few years now and he certainly came into his own last year after I cracked 3 ribs and fractured my vertebrae. He has a pleasant manner, and comes highly recommended for his skills. C Richard Jackson MBE DL
Gillian Green2024-01-18I’ve been going to Castle Clinic for help with a back problem which I’ve had for 3+ years. I have been treated by Simon with Osteopathy and acupuncture. Both of these helped but it kept recurring. Simon did a taster session with the shockwave treatment, it made a huge difference. Sadly he left the practice and recommended I saw Daniel who did the same kind of treatments as him. I saw Daniel a couple of times and he mentioned the taster session I had with Simon with the shockwave treatment and thought it would cure rather than help the problem. I was having back spasms every 6 days which lasted for 4 days and the pain was awful. I had a course of 3 treatments, 1/week and I’ve been pain free for 21/2 months. I can’t recommend this treatment enough it has got me off all the prescription drugs and more importantly I’m able to do everything… Thank you so much Daniel and Simon
Richard2024-01-17Excellent service. Physiotherapy. Jon Rebanks swiftly found the underlying cause of a long standing problem. The combination of his treatments and exercises to take away, has put me right direction
Sandra Marks2024-01-15A slightly uncomfortable treatment at times but talked through and handled expertly by Daniel. This treatment is decreasing my foot and Achilles pain and any stiffness has been greatly reduced.
