Built on Burnout,
Back Pain
&
a Love of the Long Run
After 25 years behind a desk and countless miles on the road as a club runner, I’ve learned two things:
Soft tissue care isn’t a luxury—it’s a game-changer !
Most massage places treat bodies like templates. I don’t !
Solas was born from the idea that movement should feel good, not like a constant battle with stiffness, pain, or generic advice. This isn’t a clinic with clipboards and tick-box routines. It’s one-on-one support built around your real life, your real goals, and what your body’s actually saying.
Why I Do This
I’ve had the massages that felt like a waste of time. The ones where the therapist barely asked a question.
I knew I could do better.
I’ve been running for years and reaping the benefits of sports massage myself—especially as I hit middle age and realised I can’t just “run it off” anymore. But I also know not everyone wants to stretch, foam roll, or do yoga five times a week. (I don’t either.)
So I created Solas to show people—runners and non-runners alike—that soft tissue work can make a massive difference when it’s done right, by someone who listens.
Recovery, Rewritten.
No cookie-cutter routines
Every session is based on your body and your goals.
We dig into the why
That tight calf? Might be your hip talking. We’ll figure it out together.
Real talk, no fluff
If your expectations are off, I’ll be honest about what’s possible. No false promises, just progress.
Useful advice
If a stretch or simple change can help, I’ll share it. But I won’t preach about Pilates if it’s not your thing.
Come as you are
You don’t need to be “sporty” to book. You just need to care about feeling better in your body.
Who I Work Best With
I love working with runners—they’re my people. But I also get fired up about helping:
-
Individuals who’ve never tried bodywork before
-
People who are a little sceptical but curious
-
Anyone who’s ready to do something about how they feel
If you come with a positive mindset and an open mind, we’ll get on just fine.
If you come with 27 excuses about why you can’t move, stretch, or help yourself... maybe not.

I went in with ongoing shoulder pain and left feeling so much freer in my movement. Greg really took the time to figure out what was going on, asked great questions, and explained things clearly. The massage was spot-on, firm where it needed to be, but not painful. He also gave me advice on how to avoid the same issue coming back. Super helpful and very professional.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
I’ve had a few sports massages over the years, but this was by far the most thorough. Greg clearly knows his stuff, he picked up on things I hadn’t mentioned and connected the dots really well. The treatment itself was great, and he followed up with stretches and advice tailored to me. Felt like I was in good hands throughout. Will definitely be booking again.
