About Me: A Therapist Who’s Walked (and Run) the Same Path

Running and fitness have always been part of my life—from school competitions to representing at GB Olympic trials. My career started in schools, coaching young athletes, before evolving into personal training, strength & conditioning, and finally sports massage.

After graduating from Loughborough University in 2015, I opened SP Fitness Therapy in Reading in 2020, with a focus on helping others overcome pain and push boundaries. I’ve treated professional athletes at the Reading Rockets, club runners, and countless office workers struggling with poor posture, tight shoulders, or lower back pain.

I know first-hand how frustrating injury can be. Every injury I’ve had taught me how the body moves, how it heals—and how to help others get through it too.

“After 1 one hour session with Sam he was able to (with a lot of pressure) release the knotted muscles leaving me with so much more movement! 

Not only was he able to address the problem but he was able to give me helpful advice and tips on what I can do in the gym and at home to prevent further injury’s. Highly recommend!!

“The focus was on my legs & glutes due to increase in running mileage over the last few weeks. He is very knowledgeable and has helped to relieve tension/stress in my muscles. Will be having more regular sports massages. Thanks!
