About me
Hi, I’m Carys, Your Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist here at Proactive. My aim is to help people move better, recover faster, and feel their best. Whether you’re an athlete, a regular gym-goer, or simply dealing with the aches and pains of everyday life, my goal is to provide treatments tailored to your individual needs.
As a competitive rugby player, I’ve experienced the highs of peak performance and the frustrations of injury first-hand. This athletic background, combined with years spent navigating the physical demands of an office environment, gives me a unique perspective on the postural strains and muscular imbalances we all face daily.
My aim is to create a welcoming, professional environment where you feel comfortable, listened to, and confident that you’re receiving the best possible care.
Recovery. Mobility. Performance.

Reviews
I've recently started the gym again and never had a sports massage before but been debating it for a while, regret not having the treatment sooner. Carys was great, fully focussed attention to detail on my trigger points and I left feeling amazing, muscles felt more relaxed and sat better on my body. It's a lovely professional setup in a comfy home environment and Carys knows her stuff!
Friendly professional lady who took a lot of time to understand my complicated medical history.I went to see Carys after a busy nursing shift, and she released a lot of my knots and made me feel a lot better.Nice environment, nothing too much trouble.
I went to Carys after struggling with upper back and shoulder issues following rugby injuries. Carys took time to understand the issues I was facing and then explained how she was going to tackle these. The massage was very detailed and targeted all the areas I was experiencing pain leaving me feeling relief I hadn't experienced in ages.I couldn't recommend Carys enough. The attention to detail, explanation and work she did to my shoulder and upper back was incredible. I will certainly be booking back in!
Really detailed consultation followed by a really good and thorough massage.Carys was reallyunderstanding and let me take my time as it was my first sports massage. she checked the pressure was okay for me and was really understanding. i've had injuries in my traps and back for a long time and I finally feel like i'm getting some relief for the first time in a long time!
