Tiago Alves

Sports Massage Therapist & Wellbeing Coach

Drawing on more than a decade of hands-on experience and a former career in professional dance and competitive volleyball, Tiago combines technical massage therapy with a first-hand understanding of movement, performance and recovery.

Before becoming a therapist, Tiago worked as a professional dancer, performing aboard cruise ships in productions of Chicago, Aida and Carnaval, and in the London West End production of The Lion King. He also competed as a volleyball player in the Premier London League. These experiences gave him a direct understanding of the physical demands of performance and sport, and shaped his interest in effective recovery and long-term body care.

Tiago trained in sports massage, Swedish massage, deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, postural assessment and corrective exercise. His sessions begin by listening to each client’s goals, comfort and pace, allowing him to tailor the treatment to the individual rather than applying a standard routine.

He works with athletes, active clients and desk-based professionals, helping to reduce muscular tension, support mobility and recovery, and create a better balance between movement, training and hands-on treatment.
