Pain specialist & SPORTS therapy in Sudbury & Long melford.
Welcome to Your Local Pain Specialist & Sports Therapist in Long Melford, Sudbury
I’m James, a pain specialist and sports therapist helping people move better, feel stronger, and live without ongoing pain.
Whether you’re dealing with back or neck pain, muscle or joint issues, a long-standing injury, or aches from everyday life, I provide tailored hands-on treatment to reduce pain and restore movement. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit — I work with the general public, active individuals, and sports people at all levels.
My approach focuses on understanding the root cause of your pain, not just treating the symptoms, so you can get lasting results and return to the activities you enjoy
Sports Massage
Hands-on treatment to reduce pain, release muscle tension, and improve movement. Suitable for sports injuries, work-related aches, and everyday discomfort.
Cupping Therapy
Uses suction to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tightness, and improve mobility. Particularly effective for stubborn or long-standing areas of pain.
Ultrasound Therapy
Uses sound waves to support tissue healing and reduce inflammation in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Often used to aid recovery from acute and chronic injuries.
Exercise Rehab
Targeted exercises designed to restore strength, mobility, and control. Helps reduce pain, improve movement, and prevent injuries from returning.

yOur therapist
I’m a pain specialist and sports therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people move better and live pain-free. I studied Sports Therapy at the University of Hertfordshire and have worked in professional football environments, including Colchester United and Hornchurch FC, as well as within a chiropractic clinic.
I work with both athletes and non-sporting individuals, focusing on identifying the cause of pain and creating effective, personalised treatment plans. Outside of work, I’m a keen runner and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete, giving me a practical understanding of injury, recovery, and performance.
