Sports Therapy Services

Sports Therapy Services was established to provide expert sports and remedial massage therapy alongside injury rehabilitation in Cambridge, UK. Founded by Lesley Burtenshaw, a fully qualified and insured Sports Therapist, we combine physical therapy, soft tissue techniques, and rehabilitation exercises to address acute or chronic injuries. Lesley's career began in 2005 after completing an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Sports Therapy, driven by her personal experience with ACL injury rehabilitation. Her holistic approach focuses on identifying root causes of pain, including postural imbalances and nervous system dysregulation. With experience treating athletes and active individuals, including her role as sports therapist for Histon Football Club, Lesley prioritises client education and self-help techniques.

We specialise in dry needling for chronic pain management, using sterile acupuncture needles to target trigger points and neurological pain responses. Our clinic serves marathon runners, gardeners, parents, and chronic pain sufferers, adapting treatments to individual needs. Operating since 2005, we maintain professional memberships with The Sports Massage Association and adhere to strict data protection standards. All treatments aim to restore mobility and reduce pain, enabling clients to return to their preferred activities swiftly. Lesley continues to expand her expertise, integrating knowledge of chronic pain mechanisms since 2017 and maintaining an active lifestyle through walking netball, yoga, and Qigong.
