Sports massage encourages blood flow circulation which increases oxygen to the muscles which helps with recovery.

It helps to prevent from injury by stretching the tissues and realigning the muscles fibres which optimise their functionality and it will improve the range of movement.

“If you undertake a lot of strenuous physical activity, this treatment helps you to break down the tension it causes in your muscles as well as re-oxygenating them by increasing blood flow to the tissue” says Nadège, our lead therapist.

“Expect trigger point techniques, soft tissue and myofascial release and strong pressure that manipulates your muscles.

These techniques are perfect for stretching and lengthening muscles and help with any post-workout recovery.

It’s not just for sportspeople though - everyone can benefit from a sports massage”

Your therapist will chat through your medical history and any current or past injuries, and will perform a postural and gait analysis too.

They’ll use oil, wax or lotion to carry out the treatment using some, or all, of the techniques mentioned above. Get ready to start smashing those PBs!
