Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not necessarily. Sports massage can involve deeper techniques, but treatment should always be within your comfort level. Some areas may feel tender, but it shouldn't be unbearable. The pressure is tailored to you.

    You may feel mild soreness for 24–48 hours after a sports massage, similar to the feeling after a good workout. This is normal and usually followed by improved movement, reduced tension, and faster recovery.

  • No! Sports massage isn't just for athletes. It's great for office workers, tradespeople, gym-goers, runners, gardeners—anyone with muscle tension, aches, or stiffness.

  • A regular massage is generally aimed at relaxation. Sports massage focuses on improving movement, relieving muscle tension, aiding recovery, reducing pain, and helping prevent injuries using targeted techniques.

  • It depends on your lifestyle and goals. Some people benefit from bi-weekly (every other week) maintenance, while those training for events or managing injuries may benefit from more frequent sessions.

  • Your first session usually includes a discussion about your health, lifestyle, and goals, followed by an assessment and a personalised treatment. You'll also receive advice on stretching, mobility, or exercises where appropriate.

  • Sports massage can help relieve muscular tension, improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and ease pain caused by everyday activities, work, exercise, or poor posture.
