What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the muscles, tendons and soft tissues of the body.

It can be used to help with tightness, soreness, muscular tension, restricted movement and recovery after exercise or physical strain.

Your session is tailored to you. That means the treatment will depend on your symptoms, your lifestyle, your activity levels and what you want to get back to doing.

Whether you’re active, recovering from training, or simply feeling tight and uncomfortable, treatment is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Sports massage can sometimes feel intense in tighter areas, but treatment should always stay within a comfortable level for you.

Some areas of tension or “knots” may feel tender during treatment, however pressure is adjusted throughout the session and communication is always encouraged to ensure you feel comfortable and supported.

Treatment is tailored to your body, lifestyle, and activity levels.

This depends on your lifestyle, activity levels, and goals.

Some clients book weekly or fortnightly during periods of heavy training or recovery, while others choose monthly maintenance treatments to help keep their body moving comfortably. Even occasional sessions can provide noticeable benefits.

Our appointment will usually begin with a short consultation discussing any pain, tightness, injuries, lifestyle factors, or treatment goals.

Treatment is then tailored specifically to you using a range of soft tissue techniques designed to reduce tension, improve mobility, and support recovery.

Aftercare advice may also be provided where appropriate.
