What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is manual manipulation of the muscles designed to help athletes before, during and after training or competition. It combines techniques from Swedish and deep tissue massage to target the muscle groups relevant to a particular sport.
Sports Massage

Whether you are a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, sports massage helps prepare your body for peak performance and speeds up recovery afterwards by flushing out lactic acid and reducing muscle tightness.

Our therapists tailor every session to the sport, the training phase, and any specific niggles you are carrying, so the massage always fits your training schedule.

Benefits:

  • Improve flexibility and range of motion
  • Reduce muscle tension and soreness after training
  • Speed up recovery between events
  • Help prevent injuries caused by overuse
  • Improve circulation to working muscles

What to expect from a sports massage

Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes and focus on the muscle groups most used in your sport.

Your therapist will check in on pressure throughout, as sports massage is often firmer than a relaxation massage.
