Services
Sports Massage
Sports massage combines deep tissue techniques and targeted therapy to address musculoskeletal pain and improve mobility. This service benefits athletes and non-athletes experiencing discomfort from physical activity or daily stressors. Sessions focus on releasing muscle tension, enhancing recovery, and preventing future injuries through individualised treatment plans.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure to reach deeper muscle layers and fascia, effectively softening hardened tissues. This treatment addresses chronic pain and muscle tightness caused by athletic training or sedentary lifestyles. The technique improves blood flow, reduces tension, and restores optimal muscle function through focused, slow movements.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release targets the protective muscle layer that becomes stiff from overuse. Therapists apply sustained pressure without oils to relax hardened fascia, improving flexibility and reducing pain. This technique enhances tissue mobility and addresses restrictions causing postural imbalances or movement limitations.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy focuses on specific areas of muscle tightness causing referred pain. Therapists apply targeted pressure to release knots and improve blood circulation. This service alleviates localized discomfort and addresses secondary symptoms like headaches or restricted movement caused by muscle tension patterns.
Soft Tissue Release
Soft tissue release combines pressure application and controlled stretching to realign muscle fibres. This technique addresses scar tissue and fascial restrictions through precise 'locking' movements followed by directional stretching. The treatment improves tissue elasticity, reduces pain, and restores functional movement patterns for athletic performance or daily activities.

Questions
How often should I schedule sports massage sessions?
Frequency depends on individual needs. Competitive athletes might benefit from weekly sessions during intense training, while most clients see improvements with monthly treatments. Your therapist will recommend a personalised maintenance schedule.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash payments, all major credit and debit cards including American Express, and bank transfers. Student discounts and block booking packages offer additional cost-saving options for regular clients.
What should I wear for my appointment?
Clients should wear comfortable sports clothing that allows access to treatment areas. You may be asked to remove specific garments during the session, and appropriate draping techniques maintain privacy throughout the treatment.
Do you treat non-athletes?
Yes, approximately half our clients have non-sports related concerns. Our treatments effectively address posture issues from desk work, chronic pain conditions, and musculoskeletal discomfort from everyday activities using tailored therapeutic approaches.
What techniques do you use?
We employ various techniques including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and soft tissue release. Each session combines these methods based on individual needs, targeting specific areas of tension and mobility restrictions.
Is sports massage painful?
Some techniques may cause temporary discomfort as tension releases, but therapists work within your tolerance level. The 'good pain' sensation typically subsides during treatment, leaving muscles feeling looser and more relaxed afterwards.
