Who books sports massage
If you train, play or work physically and the same muscles keep tightening, sports massage is for you.
Calves, hamstrings, IT band and hips. Book a few days before a race or two to three days after. Recovery for runners
Tight lats, shoulders, glutes and lower back from heavy sessions. Training recovery
Hips, groin, hamstrings and throwing shoulders. Recovery for cricketers
Trades and manual work load the back, shoulders and forearms day after day.
How it’s different
The session starts with firm hands-on work. If a muscle isn’t responding, we can switch to a different method in the same appointment rather than pressing harder.
Firm pressure on the working muscles, adjusted to what you can comfortably take.
Lifts tight tissue rather than compressing it. You may see round marks for a few days.
Smooth steel tools for stubborn areas like the calves, IT band or upper back.
Warms large muscle groups quickly before and after deeper work.
Timing
Lighter, shorter work so you feel loose without feeling heavy on race day.
Once the worst soreness has eased, deeper work to help you feel ready to train again.
Regular sessions to keep on top of tightness before it builds up.

No. We don’t diagnose injuries. If you have a new injury or pain that is getting worse, see a physiotherapist or GP first. We focus on muscle tightness, recovery and feeling ready to train.
Light movement is fine. Leave hard training for 24 hours after deep work, cupping or scraping.
They can. Cupping marks and scraping redness usually fade within a few days. We’ll check before using either method, especially before an event or photos.

It covers the same ground. Remedial and soft tissue work focus on specific tight, overworked muscles rather than a general relaxing massage, and that is how every session here is run. If you have a new injury, see a physiotherapist first.
Yes. The clinic is open 7 days a week until 10:30pm, so you can book after work, after training or on a Sunday. Free parking is on site.
