What we do

Our Sports Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy treatments can help to relieve everyday aches and pains, be an integral part of a rehabilitation program, or it can be used to maximise performance for a big race or competition. But you don't need to be ‘sporty’ to benefit from a Sports Massage.

Using advanced massage techniques, we will work together to achieve your goals, be it pain-free gardening or circus mastery.

For us, an overriding principle will always be about helping you build a body that lasts, whatever you put it through.

What to expect

Our treatment philosophy includes these three key components:

Treatment

Hands-on manual therapy (massage, stretching, strengthening) to manipulate the soft tissue to meet our goals, for instance reduce pain or gain more range of movement. Depending on why you have come, this might be 90% massage; for another person, it might be 50% exercise therapy to get the body moving. And so on.
Education

We want you to leave the session with more knowledge about your condition and how to handle it, with information but also concepts, like the fact that to make progress you don't have to be extreme, just consistent.
Tools

Following on from education, we want you to have the tools to help yourself. Whether it be a set of stretches to include in your daily routine, gym exercises to modify, or a set of reading materials to further your understanding, you will leave each treatment armed with more tools to help you manage your condition in between appointments.

Optimal performance

Get your body in the best shape it can be so you can perform to your maximum potential. Use Sports Massage as you prepare for competition, or to fine tune your flexibility and mobility.

Rehab & recovery

Recovering from an event or need rehabilitation of a specific injury? Working with the soft tissue, Sports Massage can get you on the right path.

Injury mitigation

Sports Massage is an effective tool for maintaining the balance and function of your body. Don't wait until you are injured, prepare yourself for the demands of your life or sport, whether it be playing with your kids or Olympic gymnastics!
