Sports / Remedial Massage is a specialised form of massage therapy that focuses on the needs of physically active people, whether you’re training, recovering from a sports-related injury, or simply seeking improved movement and performance. It involves hands-on techniques to manipulate the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues most involved in physical activity and strain.

Sports/Remedial massage is tailored to your activity, goals, and current physical state. It can be used before exercise to help prepare muscles for movement, during training cycles to support recovery, and after activity to assist with muscle tension, soreness, or fatigue. It is also an established component in rehabilitating soft tissue injuries, helping to improve flexibility and support the healing process when included as part of a broader rehabilitation plan.

Techniques commonly used may include a combination of stretching, compression, trigger point work, and other movement-based approaches selected to support your needs. Sports massage aims to improve circulation, enhance flexibility and range of motion, reduce muscle tension, and help prevent and manage overuse injuries, all of which can contribute to more consistent training and better physical performance.

Our approach combines advanced soft tissue techniques, targeted stretching, and rehabilitation advice to support recovery, manage training load, and reduce the risk of injury. Treatment is adapted to where you are in your training or recovery cycle and whether you’re building, competing, recovering, or returning from injury.

Sports Massage is particularly effective for sports injuries, overuse issues, and performance-related strain, including:

• Muscle tightness and fatigue
• Tendon and ligament overload
• Training-related niggles
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Reduced joint range of motion
• Return-to-sport rehabilitation

One of the biggest benefits of Sports Massage is its cumulative effect on the active body. Many clients notice improved performance and resilience with regular sessions. It can speed up recovery between training sessions, highlight imbalances before they develop into injuries, and improve joint range of motion, allowing your body to generate power more efficiently (think slingshot, not stiffness).
