Treatment Steps
Duration: 60 or 90 minutes per session
The Science Massage Therapy:
Why Regular Massage Matters:
When muscle tension builds up and is not effectively treated, it can lead to chronic pain patterns, restricted movement, and potentially cause injuries in the long term. Muscles develop adhesions, trigger points, and fascial restrictions that limit blood flow, reduce flexibility, and create compensatory movement patterns.
Regular treatment can prevent injury, maintain optimal function, and promote both physical and mental relaxation.

Performance Optimization & Injury Prevention
Sports massage, also known as soft tissue therapy, is the manipulation and mobilization of soft tissue structures including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. This targeted approach improves muscle functionality, increases flexibility and elasticity of muscle fibers, releases tension, and effectively reduces pain and discomfort.
Traditional cupping techniques are utilized during sports massage to enhance circulation, release fascial restrictions, and accelerate recovery.
- Athletes training regularly or competing
- Active individuals seeking performance optimization
- Post-training recovery and muscle soreness
- Injury prevention protocols
- Preparation before competitions or events
- Chronic overuse conditions
- Flexibility and range of motion improvement
- 60 minutes: £100
- 90 minutes: £120
First 24-48 Hours After Massage:
✔ Hydrate well – Drink plenty of water to flush released toxins ✔ Rest if needed – Allow body to integrate the work ✔ Avoid intense training – Light activity only for 24 hours ✔ Apply heat or ice – As recommended for your specific condition ✔ Gentle stretching – Maintain the flexibility gains ✔ Epsom salt bath – Helps reduce post-massage soreness ✔ Avoid alcohol – Can dehydrate and impede recovery
Normal Post-Massage Experiences:
✔ Mild soreness for 24-48 hours (like post-workout) ✔ Increased thirst (toxin release) ✔ Temporary fatigue or drowsiness (relaxation response) ✔ Increased urination (detoxification) ✔ Emotional release (tension holds emotions) ✔ Heightened body awareness
When These Are Normal: All the above experiences are completely normal and indicate your body is responding therapeutically to the treatment.
Ongoing Maintenance:
✔ Schedule regular sessions before pain returns ✔ Practice recommended stretches at home ✔ Address postural issues in daily life ✔ Stay hydrated consistently ✔ Communicate changes in training or symptoms ✔ Combine with other therapies as recommended
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

- Deep-seated pain and stiffness
- Postural imbalances causing discomfort
- Stress-related muscle holding patterns
- Desk workers with neck/shoulder tension
- Recovery from old injuries
- Breaking down scar tissue and adhesions

Maybe you're wondering
Sports Massage is specifically designed for athletic performance and includes dynamic techniques, cupping therapy, and sports-specific stretching. It focuses on improving muscle functionality, preventing injury, and optimizing training.
Deep Tissue Massage targets chronic tension patterns and works deeper into muscle layers using slower, more sustained pressure. It's ideal for long-standing pain, postural issues, and stress-related tension.
Choose Sports Massage if: You're training regularly, preparing for competition, or recovering from athletic activity.
Choose Deep Tissue if: You have chronic pain, desk-related tension, or need therapeutic work on deep-seated issues.
Some discomfort during deep work is normal and therapeutic – often described as "good pain" or "hurts so good." You should never experience sharp, shooting, or unbearable pain.
We constantly adjust pressure based on your feedback and comfort level. Communication throughout the session ensures you get effective treatment without crossing into harmful pain territory.
Post-massage soreness (similar to post-workout soreness) for 24-48 hours is completely normal.
Frequency depends on your goals:
✔ Athletes in heavy training: Weekly or bi-weekly ✔ Injury recovery: 1-2 times per week initially ✔ Chronic pain management: Weekly to bi-weekly ✔ Preventative maintenance: Monthly to bi-monthly ✔ Stress relief and wellness: Monthly
We'll recommend a personalized schedule based on your needs during your first session.
Cupping therapy uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood flow, release fascial restrictions, and accelerate recovery. It's particularly effective for athletes and included with all sports massage sessions.
You may have temporary circular marks (not bruises) that fade within 3-10 days. These marks indicate increased circulation and toxin release.
Absolutely! Regular massage is one of the most effective injury prevention strategies.
It maintains optimal muscle length and flexibility, identifies and addresses tension patterns before they become injuries, improves body awareness and movement patterns, reduces cumulative training stress, and keeps tissues healthy and resilient.
Many professional athletes consider regular massage essential maintenance, not optional.
Pre-event (3-5 days before): Light sports massage to optimize performance without causing soreness.
Post-event (within 24-48 hours): Sports massage to accelerate recovery, reduce soreness, and prevent compensatory patterns.
Regular training: Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance to prevent accumulated tension and optimize performance.
Wear comfortable clothing. You'll undress to your comfort level – most people prefer underwear only for best access to muscles, but you're always properly draped with sheets and only the area being worked on is exposed.
Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities.
Yes! Massage therapy complements our other services beautifully:
✔ IV Therapy + Massage: Optimize recovery from inside and outside ✔ PRP + Massage: Address hair loss with comprehensive wellness approach ✔ Facials + Massage: Complete head-to-toe relaxation and rejuvenation
We can create integrated treatment plans addressing multiple wellness goals.
Not at all! While we specialize in sports massage, we work with:
✔ Desk workers with chronic tension ✔ People recovering from injury ✔ Anyone with chronic pain or stiffness ✔ Individuals seeking stress relief ✔ Weekend warriors and casual exercisers ✔ People with postural issues
Our techniques adapt to meet your specific needs, athletic or otherwise.
