Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sports Recovery Massage painful?
Not necessarily. Sports Recovery Massage does not need to be extremely deep or uncomfortable to be effective.
Pressure is adapted according to your comfort, muscular condition and treatment goals.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. Although Sports Recovery Massage is popular with gym-goers, runners, cyclists and athletes, it is also suitable for recreational exercisers and people with physically demanding lifestyles.
What's the difference between Sports Recovery Massage and Advanced Sports Bodywork?
Sports Recovery Massage is primarily a massage-based treatment focused on muscular recovery, fatigue, tension and mobility.
Advanced Sports Bodywork provides a more comprehensive treatment where several specialist techniques may be combined, such as Deep Tissue Massage, stretching and mobility work, Graston (Gua Sha), cupping and acupuncture where appropriate.
How often should I book?
This depends on your activity levels, training schedule and individual needs.
Some clients book following periods of intensive training or events, while others incorporate Sports Recovery Massage periodically as part of their recovery and maintenance routine.
What should I book if I'm unsure?
If you mainly want massage to support muscular recovery following training or physical activity, Sports Recovery Massage is a good starting point.
If you want a longer, more comprehensive treatment combining several bodywork techniques, consider Advanced Sports Bodywork.
You are also welcome to contact the therapist before booking if you are unsure.
