Meet Our Team: Expert Sports Massage Therapy

Sports Massage Therapist & Sports Scientist 

 I’m Vishnu, the person who turns up at your door with the massage table and does my best to get you moving properly again. I’m an Indian-trained physiotherapist who has spent the last several years working across intensive care, post-operative rehab, orthopaedics and sports injuries in busy hospitals and sports clinics in India, and more recently in private clinics and sports massage settings here in the UK. 

That mix means I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum – from critically ill patients learning to stand again, to athletes who simply refuse to miss leg day. It’s shaped how I work now: calm, evidence-based, and very focused on what actually helps you get back to the things you enjoy, whether that’s the gym, running, sport or just getting through a workday without your back shouting at you.

Act2recovery is my way of bringing clinic-level skills into your home. Sessions are hands-on and tailored – sports massage, deep tissue work, cupping, IASTM and taping where needed – but always with a clear plan, honest explanations and simple rehab you can realistically stick to. No gimmicks, no pressure selling, just straightforward care aimed at long-term results.
