Sports Massage

Our massage services are personalised to your needs! Sports Massage is not a one size fits all treatment, more of an umbrella term. Your therapist will discuss your treatment aims and preferences and identify the most suitable approach for you. 

If you have a diagnosed injury or pain that has not been investigated by a medical professional, please Book An Initial Assessment. It’s to ensure the most appropriate and safe route for your care.

Ideal for niggles, inflexibilities and recovering after a hard session of your favourite activity, plus a bucket load of buzz words:

Knots, spots, aches, pains, tightness, release, tension, lactic acid build-up, stiffness – we’ve heard them all!

Trust us, you’re in safe hands! 

How long do I need? Great question, if you have a particular body part to focus on, 30 minutes (link) is usually sufficient. Multiple areas of focus e.g. lower back, thigh, calves will require an hour’s treatment (link) to maximise the benefits. 

Useful info: Come prepared. We need to see, touch and feel the areas you want to work on so please wear appropriate clothing! We provide towels and a changing area. 

AJ’s Top tip: Get the most out of your session by picking the best time of day for you; before/after work, 1-3 days post event or the same day where appropriate.
