Sports Massage
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a targeted treatment designed to support physical performance, aid recovery, and help prevent injury. It uses a combination of deep tissue techniques, stretching, and trigger point work focused on the muscles and soft tissues most affected by your activity.
Who is it For?
You don’t need to be a professional athlete to benefit from sports massage. This treatment is ideal if you:
- Run, cycle, swim, or train regularly
- Are preparing for an event (marathon, triathlon, match)
- Are recovering from a sports injury or strain
- Experience tightness from repetitive exercise patterns
- Want to maintain flexibility and reduce injury risk
What to Expect
After discussing your training, activity level, and any areas of concern, I’ll focus the treatment on the muscle groups most relevant to your sport or activity. The session may include deep tissue work, advanced stretching, cross-fibre techniques, and trigger point release.
Sports massage can be firm — I’ll work at a level that’s effective without being uncomfortable, and I’ll always check in with you on pressure.
