Bodywork For People Who Move

Sports massage is built for serious athletes who train continuously — and for weekend warriors whose Monday mornings tell the story of Sunday's match. It focuses on the muscles your activity actually uses: runners' calves and IT bands, lifters' shoulders and backs, cyclists' quads and hips.

Pre-event sessions wake muscles up with brisk, stimulating work; post-event sessions flush waste and calm micro-trauma; maintenance sessions through the season keep small tightness from becoming season-ending injury.

  • Pre-event activation and post-event recovery protocols
  • IT band, calf, hamstring, shoulder and back specialisation
  • Assisted stretching to protect and extend range of motion
  • Season training plans coordinated with your coach

Post-Event

Slow flushing strokes within 72 hours to speed recovery and ease soreness.

3

Maintenance

Regular season sessions that catch adhesions before they cost you races.

4

Rehab Support

Gentle return-to-play work alongside your physio after injury.

Sports Massage FAQ

Should I get massage before or after my event?

Both help, differently. A light activation session 1–3 days before primes you; a deeper flush session 24–72 hours after speeds recovery. Skip deep work the day before race day.

I'm not a pro — is this for me?

Completely. Most of our sports clients are recreational runners, gym-goers and league players. If you train, you qualify.

Does it help with shin splints or runner's knee?

Supportive care for overuse patterns is our bread and butter — we treat the surrounding tissue and advise on load while you heal.
