Your Sports Massage Therapist: Charlotte

Hi there! I’m the owner of RFLX Sports Massage, and I’ll be your therapist when you visit the clinic. I’m a fully qualified sports massage therapist, proudly trained at the renowned Cotswold Academy. I founded RFLX Sports Massage with a clear vision: to create a welcoming, thoughtfully designed space where clients feel truly cared for (if you want to know more about the origins of my clinic, you can read my blog about it here). My approach goes beyond just treating symptoms - I focus on your overall well-being, using effective sports massage techniques to help you feel and move your best. I wanted to create a space that was accessible to those who haven’t felt as welcome in traditional ‘sports’ environments. In my opinion, everyone can benefit from sports massage, there is no minimum requirement of activity level to be treated. Choosing to base my clinic in Bishops Cleeve was also important to me. As a local resident, I was tired of battling Cheltenham traffic for appointments - now, I’m lucky enough to walk to work and welcome clients right in the heart of my own community.

My path to sports massage has been shaped by a diverse and personal journey. I’m an experienced pole and aerial dance instructor, having taught and competed across the UK, which has given me a deep understanding of the body - especially in dynamic and unconventional movement. This background has made me especially attuned to how the body functions, adapts, and sometimes, needs support.

I also live with endometriosis, a chronic condition that has helped me truly understand the complexities of long-term pain. My own experience has shown me the real, lasting impact that hands-on treatments can have - not just physically, but emotionally as well.

I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients - from tradespeople like window cleaners, decorators, and other manual workers, to healthcare professionals, office-based workers, small business owners, and retirees. Many come to my clinic with issues linked to repetitive strain, long hours on their feet, or postural tension from desk-based roles. Others are managing chronic conditions or long-term discomfort and are looking for safe, supportive treatment to help ease tension and improve mobility. Whatever your background, I believe in providing tailored, respectful care that meets you where you are.

RFLX Sports Massage is based in Bishops Cleeve, just outside Cheltenham - easily accessible whether you're local to the area or coming from nearby places such as Tewkesbury, Winchcombe & Prestbury.

Outside the clinic, I love bouldering, exploring the stunning Cotswold countryside, and spending time with my cat, Pancake (who keeps me grounded and entertained in equal measure)

I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic! Book your initial appointment here
