Sports massage is a performance-focused form of soft-tissue therapy designed for runners, gym-goers, footballers, rugby players, cyclists, swimmers and anyone who trains regularly. It addresses the muscle tightness, fatigue and micro-damage that build up with training, so you can move well and keep doing what you love.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a sports massage?
During heavy training, once a week works well. In maintenance periods, every two to four weeks is usually enough. We will suggest a rhythm after your first visit.
Should I book before or after a race?
A lighter session two to three days before a race keeps you loose without leaving you sore, and a recovery session 24 to 72 hours afterwards helps muscles settle.
Will it hurt?
Pressure is always agreed with you and adjusted throughout. Some areas feel intense, but you should be able to breathe and relax through it.
