Alchemy Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy and Injury Rehab in Ahoghill and Ballymena
Alchemy Sports Therapy provides injury rehab, neuromuscular therapy, sports massage and microcurrent therapy across Ahoghill, Ballymena and the surrounding mid-Antrim area. Run by Sapphire Dudley, a qualified neuromuscular therapist and personal trainer with her own background as a competitive rugby player and strength coach, the clinic treats athletes and everyday people alike.
What sets Alchemy apart is the combination of hands-on treatment, clinical assessment and a genuine understanding of strength and conditioning. Rather than just treating the symptom in front of her, Sapphire looks at how you move and train, so treatment is built around the person, not just the sore spot.

Who It’s For
Alchemy works with competitive athletes managing injuries and trying to get back to training safely, as well as everyday people dealing with pain, stiffness or movement problems that have nothing to do with sport. Common reasons to book include muscle and joint pain, recovering from an injury, tightness that keeps coming back despite rest, and general movement or performance issues that a straightforward massage alone tends not to fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Alchemy Sports Therapy based?
The clinic is at Unit 8, 58 Cullybackey Link Road, Ahoghill, Ballymena, BT42 1LA, based at Schoolhouse Gym with free on-site parking. It serves clients from Ahoghill, Ballymena and the wider mid-Antrim area, including Cullybackey, Randalstown and Portglenone.
Do I need to be an athlete to book an appointment?
No. Alchemy treats athletes managing injuries and performance, but everyday people dealing with pain, stiffness or movement problems make up just as much of the work. You do not need to play sport to benefit from sports massage or neuromuscular therapy.
What is neuromuscular therapy?
It is a hands-on approach that looks at how muscles, nerves and movement patterns interact, rather than treating a sore muscle in isolation. It is often used for pain that keeps returning despite rest or a standard massage, where the underlying cause is a movement pattern or compensation elsewhere in the body.
What is microcurrent therapy?
Microcurrent therapy uses a very low level electrical current applied to soft tissue to support the body’s natural repair process and reduce pain, and is often used alongside hands-on treatment as part of an injury rehab plan.
What does Sapphire’s background bring to treatment?
Sapphire is a qualified neuromuscular therapist and personal trainer, and has competed as a rugby player and worked as a strength coach herself. That combination means treatment is informed by clinical assessment and hands-on therapy as well as a practical understanding of training and strength and conditioning, so rehab plans account for how you actually need to move and perform, not just pain relief in isolation.
Are evening appointments available?
Yes. The clinic is by appointment only, with flexible scheduling including evenings, which suits anyone working a normal daytime job. Book directly through the online booking system to see current availability.
