I found a masseur via a local gym. She leases a room from them so I didn't have to be a gym member or anything, just booked it through them - they handled her diary and the admin.
She charged £25 for an hour which I'm lead to believe is very good, I think you can pay up to £50 or so. Been going for years though so maybe I was on a regular user discount!
Is it worth it - yes, definitely. I've only had a few massages in the last couple of years since moving away, I was going about once every 4-6 weeks and it really helped with keeping me supple, I've had problems with tight ITB for years and the massage worked wonders.

I had the best sports massage ever in Austria when snowboarding.

I was obviously using muscles/tendons I didn't even know I had and was struggling after a few days on the board so booked me a massage at a cost of arund €40.

It was amazing and revived me for the rest of the holiday!

The pleasure/pain thing was just amazing 😮

funnily enough just booked one for 2pm today. £40/hour, but I have vouchers as a present. I can't wait, I love massage.

£45 an hour at my gym. £10 discount for being a member.

they are really good, help me to relax and recover when i'm riding a lot. Not worth doing if you don't stretch properly though. oh and they hurt - sometimes a lot. infact i think i cried once 😥
