Elite Sports Massage
Hi, I’m Carmella Kitching founder of Elite Sports Massage. I am a qualified Sports massage therapist (ITEC) training to be a Feldenkrais practitioner. I am also a Personal Trainer. Additionally, I graduated at Loughborough University in Sports Psychology BSc. Moreover, I am a retired elite swimmer who represented Great Britain and France in my junior years.
I was born in London (U.K.) and grew up in France (Antibes) from the age of 12 to learn French. I have dual nationality and I am bilingual in English and French. I have traveled to many different countries growing up.
My passion in sports massage and soft tissue therapy began when I started to get injured in my seniors years during my swimming career. I have always wanted to find out why and how an injury occurred and how to prevent it.
Moreover, since a young child I have always been passionate about wanting to help others and make people feel good about themselves physically and mentally.
Performance - Passion - Wellbeing
Exactly what I needed ! Carmella knows really what she’s doing and I can already feel that my tension is way less after just one appointment - can’t wait for my next one’! 🙌🏽
Really incredible after almost 1 year of trapezius pain all gone and even other mini pain really incredible
Very professional, smiling and very good advice.
I finally highly recommend a REAL sports massage 💪🏻

I visited after a multi day bike ride across France. Carmella was lovely to deal with, friendly and most importantly skilled in what she does. I left feeling much better even after just one session. Thank you!
Anyone under Carmella’s care can be certain they are receiving exceptional, expert treatment. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a repertoire of impressive devices to target finer areas of the body. She has also curated an array of products based on the common causes she treats among her clients. I initially saw her with back muscles so tight they curved my spine. I wasn’t able to walk without immense pain and spasms. I was aligned within 1 session. I have since recommended her to my family who are now under her care. I encourage those looking for a real massage therapist with real results to see her.
An amazing experience with the sports massage 🤩 it was my first time and Carmella was very friendly and professional at the same time. I highly recommend to give it a try and also to try the Elite pillow + the mini heated muscle scraping tool ( that I got from her 😀). Thanks again and see you very soon .
I visited Carmella after having a neck & shoulder problem whilst on holiday in the area. I have experience of visiting sports massage professionals in the UK but I found Carmella to be extremely knowledgeable and ultra professional. The treatment was first class and worked!! Within a few days the problem I had had for over 2 weeks was gone! She responded quickly to my initial request and even followed up to see how I was feeling. It’s just a shame she isn’t based where I live as I would be a regular client for sure! Thank you ☺️
Highly recommend. I’m far from the professional sportsperson Carmella’s used to..but am active and have had back soreness/ache/tightness for a long time and just after one session feel the benefits. I felt completely at ease in Carmella’s presence due to her knowledge and calm and friendly manner. Thank you, already looking forward to the next session.
I would highly recommend Elite Sports Massage. I had a back injury and contacted Carmella at short notice as I was in the Antibes area. Communication was quick and efficient and she was able to fit an appointment to suit my needs.
As I was unsure what was giving me pain she was able to assess and taylor the session to ensure I would gain maximum benefit.
She employed different techniques and I really felt the impact of the deep tissue massage.
She was also able to offer sound advice on post-treatment and rehabilitation.
I will definitely be returning to Elite Sports Massage as the knowledge and professionalism displayed has gained my utmost confidence.

My experience with Carmella at Elite sports massage was wonderful. My entire trap, shoulder, arm and shoulder blade was completely blocked with years of knots pushing on the nerves due to bad posture. She worked on them hard with all sorts of tools over 2 sessions and soon another 3rd.
The decor is wonderful, Carmella is knowledgeable and very friendly, she also speaks fluent English and French.
I would recommend 100%

My first massage at Elite sports massage was really amazing. She helped so much and I was able to feel all the tension release. She is wildly knowledgeable and truly cares. I will definitely be back many times. Thank you so much Carmella.
Carmella is such a talented, interested and knowledgeable masseuse! In my experience massages does not differ much, but wow the techniques and tools and the way she applies them are quite the experience. It’s nice to be treated by someone who really seem to understand the body. I think this treatment must have released some 10 years of tension! Comes highly recommended!
I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with the incredible services provided by Carmella. I recently booked a last-minute appointment with her and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Carmella is undoubtedly the best sports massage therapist I've come across in the entire south of France.
Her professionalism shines through from start to finish. She maintains excellent communication throughout the session, ensuring that every need is met. Carmella truly takes it upon herself to rid your body of any knots or tension, making it her mission to provide optimal relief.
I cannot recommend Carmella enough. If you're in search of a sports massage that truly delivers results ( an actually sports massage as I’m yet to come across anyone along the French Rivera), look no further. Her expertise, dedication, and skill are unmatched. Thank you, Carmella, for the outstanding service you provide. You have my highest recommendation!
