Sports massage

Sports massage for tight, overworked muscles, whether you are training for an event, recovering from one or just stiff from long days. Sessions are with our sports massage therapist, who works alongside the physiotherapists.

What a session involves

We ask about your training, any injuries and what feels tight, then work on the areas that need it most. Expect firm pressure that you control, so say if it is too much. Wear or bring shorts, and leave a day between a session and a hard workout or race.

Sports massage: your questions.

All questions
Is sports massage the same as physiotherapy?

No. Sports massage works on muscles and soft tissue. If you have pain or an injury that needs assessing, book a physiotherapy appointment first, and we can add massage to your plan.

Does it hurt?

It can feel firm, and you may be a little sore the next day. You are in charge of the pressure, so tell your therapist if it is too much.

When should I book before an event?

Two to four days before usually works well, so your legs feel fresh on the day. A lighter session afterwards can help with stiffness.
