Sports Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy with Morganne

Now Accepting New Clients

(My books are reviewed quarterly).

Morganne, the founder and lead therapist of Portobello Health Hub, is a fully qualified and insured Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue therapist with over 14 years of experience treating individuals and professional athletes in Edinburgh.

Whether your pain is new or something you’ve been living with for years, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help people reconnect with their bodies and rebuild trust in movement through therapeutic massage. By applying principles of neuroplasticity and guided feedback, we work with your nervous system—not against it—to reduce pain and restore confidence.

Your body is adaptable. It is strong. And it can learn to move comfortably again.

This is where soft tissue therapy comes into play. I target the connective tissue of your body – i.e., the muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments – using various techniques, including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. These methods specifically ease pain, improve posture and function, support injury recovery, and alleviate tired and aching muscles.

Your treatment will commence with a conversation regarding what brought you in, followed by simple tests to assess your movement and identify areas needing attention. We may re-test throughout the session to ensure we’re heading in the right direction, and at the end of your treatment, you’ll receive a tailored treatment plan along with some home exercises to continue your progress.

INITIAL MASSAGE APPOINTMENT

Our Initial Appointment

We suggest a 60minute appointment.

We take the time to listen to you and your story - about what you are feeling, today and your history.

What you are looking for help with.

And then we discuss how we think we can help, and what our plan will be.

To begin the treatment we discuss where and how we will work.

The treatment will involve hands on work - at the area you are wanting focus on; but also possibly with work around the area - to see areas of compensation and areas that work together.

Different modalities of treatments from our training will be applied, possibly with re-testing throughout to see how things are changing.

At the end of the session, we will allow time for some short recap, retesting and chat to see how you are feeling.

Different exercises and tips can be discussed and a treatment plan with follow ups discussed.

FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS

Follow up appointments

We will have made suggestions at the end of your initial appointment depending on the focus of our work; so can be either 45mins or 60mins; or preferences are obviously welcome.

We will start the appointment checking in with you; how you felt after the last treatment and how the exercises and tips discussed have been in the interim.

We will then address any shifts in where you are wanting focus to be this session and again discuss where and how we are going to work.

Treatment plans are revisited and discussed with progressions and changes applied.
