Hands-on rehabilitation for acute and chronic sports injuries — combining soft tissue work, mobility, taping and return-to-sport planning to get you back stronger.
Quick reply from Derek · No obligation · 30+ years experience
Sports injuries — pulled hamstrings, tweaked backs, tight calves, dodgy shoulders — don't fix themselves with rest alone. Most need targeted hands-on work, a structured rehab plan, and someone who knows when to push and when to pull back.
Derek Lyons has spent 30+ years guiding athletes, gym-goers and active adults through injury recovery in Colchester and East London. Sessions blend sports massage, deep tissue therapy, cupping, kinesiology taping and clear movement advice — all built around your specific injury and stage of healing.
Whether you're 48 hours into a fresh strain or six months into a frustrating chronic issue, the goal is the same: get you back to training, sport and life — properly, not just patched up.

★★★★★ WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Real Results in Colchester
Verified 5-star Google reviews from Colchester clients.
“I have been seeing Derek for nearly 5 years and he is without doubt the best physio, massage and bodywork specialist I have come across. Not only is he professional, but he has helped out some serious situations. Most notably when I severely injured my lower back in the gym. Derek made time to see me at short notice and quickly got me on a protocol to not only get back, but put together a comprehensive plan to avoid having further problems and address the root cause of my issues. I went from not being able to bend over or sleep at night to lifting heavy and increasing my performance. I now see him regularly to help maximise my performance and recovery. 10/10!!!!!”

“I have been visiting Derek for over a year. He is very knowledgable and also sorts out any pain or injuries I have incurred along the way. His techniques are second to none and focuses on connective muscle groups by massaging areas which are prone to injury through exercise or training. A must visit performance therapist.”
