Frequently Asked Questions

Sports massage therapy is a type of massage that is specifically designed for athletes and individuals who engage in regular physical activity. It is aimed at preventing and treating injuries, improving performance, and aiding in recovery.

Sports massage uses techniques that are specifically geared towards athletes and individuals who engage in regular physical activity. It is more focused on preventing and treating injuries, improving performance, and aiding in recovery, whereas regular massage is more focused on relaxation and stress relief.

The benefits of sports massage therapy include improved performance, reduced risk of injury, faster recovery, increased flexibility, improved circulation, and reduced muscle soreness.

For Sports Massage treatments, gym, running or sports shorts are best, as the treatment incorporates passive manipulation of joints and stretching depending on the areas we will be working. If this is not possible please wear appropriate underwear to accommodate any potential movement or stretches we may carry out during the treatment.

The above recommendations also apply to Holistic/Swedish style treatments, but there are no stretches during this style of treatment. You will be covered for the entire treatment, but again, please ensure appropriate underwear/clothing are worn.
