Why we recommend

This is a great way of rebalancing and correcting problems caused by physical activity or trauma.  People that do get involved in sport find this type of sports massage particularly beneficial just before or after exercise.  If you are recovering from an injury or merely want to give your body a treat after a workout in the gym or a hard day at work, a sports massage can help.

Our Sports Mobile Massages

An incredibly deep form of tissue manipulation, when you book an at home sports massage, your visiting massage therapist will use a range of techniques, depending upon your specific needs and what muscle groups you want focused on. Kneading, wringing and effleurage (repeated circular movements) will be used to relax your muscular-skeletal system with a focus on any areas where you may have particular problems. You don’t have to play a sport to benefit from a mobile sports massage either. It can help with any muscle pain or restricted range of motion you might be having.

We recommend an at home sports massage if you need to rebalance and correct problems caused by physical activity or trauma. If you are involved in regular sport, you will find a sports massage particularly beneficial just before or after exercise. And If you are recovering from an injury or want to give your body a bit more care after a workout, or a hard day at work, a professional sports massage can help. If you’re still not sure if a sports massage is right for you, some of the advantages you will gain include the release of muscular tension, accelerated recovery after injury, improved posture, increased flexibility, relief from back pain, sciatica and general muscle aches, boosted energy levels and improved mental alertness.

  • Should I book a visiting sports massage before a workout or sporting event?
    We suggest that you book your mobile sports massage after your workout or sporting event. Because of the deep pressure strokes and massage techniques used during your sports massage, you may find that your muscles are sore afterwards so taking it easy for the rest of the day is recommended.
  • How long do the effects of a sports massage last?
    If you have been having regular visiting sports massages to help with the healing process of a sporting injury or for ongoing pain, we suggest you book in for weekly sports massages. Your trained massage therapist will be able to guide you and suggest the best plan for ongoing massages after your first mobile sports massage with us.
  • What’s the difference between a mobile Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and sports massage?
    A Swedish massage uses light pressure to promote relaxation and usually is a full body massage. If you choose a deep tissue massage, it uses more pressure and is generally focused on specific areas with the goal of pain relief. A visiting sports massage uses medium pressure techniques similar to a deep tissue massage but with a faster pace than Swedish massage or deep tissue massage.
  • Who should get a visiting sports massage?
    A sports massage from one of our trained massage therapists can benefit everybody, of any age, not just sportspeople. Deep musculoskeletal aches and pains from sports, physical activity or even long hours hunched over a desk can be improved with a mobile sports massage treatment. Your massage therapist will tailor your sports massage to your needs and help you feel benefits where you previously felt pain.
