Sports & Deep Tissue Massage
Professional Sports & Deep Tissue Massage in London
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage is a firm, targeted treatment designed to address muscular tension, tightness and stiffness while supporting movement and physical wellbeing.
Treatment combines elements of sports massage and deep tissue techniques, with pressure and areas of focus adapted to your individual needs.
Whether your tension comes from training, work, prolonged sitting, physical activity or everyday muscular stress, your session is personalised to where your body needs the most attention.
What Is Sports & Deep Tissue Massage?
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage uses focused pressure and massage techniques to work into areas of muscular tension and tightness.
Rather than following a fixed full-body routine, treatment can concentrate on specific areas or provide broader muscular work depending on your needs.
Treatment may include:
✓ Sports Massage Techniques
✓ Deep Tissue Massage
✓ Trigger Point Therapy
✓ Targeted Muscular Work
✓ Assisted Stretching, where appropriate
✓ Mobility-Based Techniques
Pressure is always adapted to your comfort and treatment goals.
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage may be suitable for:
✓ Muscular tightness & tension
✓ Back, shoulder & neck tension
✓ Leg & hip tightness
✓ Gym-goers & active lifestyles

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Deep Tissue Massage painful?
Deep tissue massage can involve firmer pressure, but treatment should not simply be about tolerating pain.
Pressure is adjusted throughout your session according to your comfort, muscular tension and treatment goals. You can ask for the pressure to be increased or reduced at any time.
Do I need to be sporty?
No. Sports & Deep Tissue Massage is suitable for both active and non-active clients.
Many clients choose this treatment because of muscular tension caused by work, prolonged sitting, physical jobs or everyday activities rather than sport.
What is the difference between Sports & Deep Tissue Massage and Sports Recovery Massage?
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage focuses primarily on deeper muscular tension, tightness and stiffness.
Sports Recovery Massage has a stronger recovery focus and is particularly suited to muscular fatigue, post-training recovery and maintaining mobility around physical activity.
What is the difference between this and Advanced Sports Bodywork?
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage is primarily a massage-based treatment using focused sports and deeper tissue techniques.
Advanced Sports Bodywork is a longer and more comprehensive treatment that may combine several approaches, including massage, mobility work, stretching, Graston (Gua Sha), cupping and acupuncture where appropriate.
Which session length should I choose?
Choose 30 minutes when you have one specific area requiring attention.
Choose 60 minutes for a more comprehensive treatment or several areas of tension.
Choose 90 minutes when you would like extended treatment across multiple areas or more comprehensive bodywork.
