Targeted muscle manipulation promotes blood flow to damaged tissue, supporting recovery after intense training sessions. The treatment helps break down adhesions and scar tissue that limit movement, helping you maintain peak condition throughout your training programme.
Pre-event sessions prepare muscles for activity through stimulating techniques that promote circulation and may reduce injury risk. Post-event massage supports recovery by flushing out metabolic waste and reducing inflammation, allowing you to train consistently without excessive fatigue.
Maintenance treatments address ongoing tension from repetitive movements, helping prevent minor issues from developing into serious injuries. Your therapist adapts the pressure and techniques to your current condition, ensuring each session meets your specific needs.

What is the difference between sports massage and regular massage?
Sports massage uses deeper pressure and targets specific muscle groups affected by physical activity. The techniques focus on injury prevention, performance enhancement, and recovery rather than pure relaxation. Your therapist assesses movement patterns and addresses problem areas that impact your training or daily activities.
Do I need to be an athlete to have sports massage?
Absolutely not. Sports massage benefits anyone with muscle tension, whether from exercise, desk work, gardening, or repetitive movements. The treatment addresses muscular issues regardless of fitness level, helping you move better and feel more comfortable in your daily activities.
How often should I book sports massage sessions?
This depends on your activity level and goals. Athletes in heavy training often benefit from weekly sessions, while recreational exercisers typically book every two to four weeks. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your specific needs and how your body responds to treatment.
Will sports massage hurt?
Sports massage involves firm pressure that can feel intense, particularly on tight or damaged tissue. However, it should not be unbearable. Your therapist adjusts the pressure throughout your session, and you should always communicate if anything feels too uncomfortable. Some post-treatment soreness is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
What should I do after my sports massage appointment?
Drink plenty of water to help flush out metabolic waste released during treatment. Avoid intense training for 24 hours if you have had deep work, allowing your muscles time to recover. Light movement such as walking is beneficial, and applying ice to any tender areas can reduce post-treatment inflammation.
