Frequently asked questions
What does a sports massage involve?
Sports massage is the manipulation of muscle fibres to remove adhesions and improve movement.
Initially we will discuss with you a little about your medical/activity history and what the desired outcome of the massage will be.
You will then be made comfortable on a massage bed and we will focus on the areas discussed. Warming up the muscles first and then applying more directed pressure to the muscle fibres to remove knots and adhesions.

Will it hurt?
In short: Yes, it can be.
Sports massage works on your muscular fibers to remove knots and adhesions which may have built up over time.
If you have many knots and adhesions the massage will be uncomfortable in parts, but you will see the most benefits (and feel great afterwards!).

What do I wear?
In general a pair of loose fitting shorts and top would be fine, or even just your underwear.
You will be left alone to get comfortable on the massage bed prior to the massage and you will be covered in a towel while being massaged.
Your dignity and modesty will be respected at all times.

Do I come to you or do you come to me?
Either.
