I have recently qualified at level 3 in sports massage. I'm not sure what to do next, however. I enjoyed it, and am wondering whether to re-train as a physio. Or am I too old (I'm in my 40s)?

You’re definitely not too old. Plenty of people retrain in their 40s and even later. If you enjoyed sports massage, physiotherapy is a natural next step and opens more clinical and career options. It does take time, money, and commitment, so it’s worth shadowing a physio first to see if you enjoy the day-to-day work. Your massage background will actually give you a strong advantage.
