About Motion Massage & Mobility
A practical, athlete-informed approach to sports massage and mobility in Bristol.
The approach
Every session starts with what is actually getting in your way: training load, movement habits, a specific ache, or simply the need to feel more at home in your body.
The work combines hands-on sports massage with mobility-led thinking, so you leave with a clearer sense of what is happening and what to do next.
About the therapist
I'm Marc, a Level 5 Sports Massage Therapist and FRC Mobility Specialist based in Bristol, running Motion Massage from Boys to Men barbershop in Bedminster. I first qualified in sports massage back in 2008 and have spent over a decade working as a performance swimming coach alongside a regional age squad. I have also worked with and led an international Swim England junior team, giving me a hands-on understanding of how athletes move, train, and recover.
In 2025, I completed my Level 5 Sports Massage qualification and Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) training, bringing a more detailed, movement-focused lens to my work. I stay active myself and understand the value of being able to train, compete, work, and enjoy everyday life without feeling held back.
