Massage to aid recovery from injuries or surgery or as part of a training programme
Sports Massage is a deep tissue massage that loosens tight muscles and breaks down adhesions in muscle fibres. It aids your recovery from injuries or after surgery or it can be used as part of your training programme in connection with a warm up or a cool down.
Sports massage is not just for sportsmen or women! It can also be used as an adjunct to your normal physiotherapy treatment or simply to relieve muscle tension or treat repetitive strain injuries, which everyone experiences from time to time.

Yes, you are very welcome to bring somebody along; we are also able to provide chaperones should you require. Please inform our reception team when booking your appointment and we will happily arrange this on your behalf.
Please bear in mind children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must remain throughout the treatment.
It depends on the area being treated. There is no need to take off all your clothes for a foot and ankle massage; just wear loose trousers which you can pull up over your knees. We endeavour to ensure the modesty and dignity of our clients and use towels where possible to drape across during a treatment, helping you feel relaxed and comfortable.
To get the full benefits out of a full body massage it is recommended you remove your shirt, trousers and socks. You can wear underwear, bra, swimming trunks or swimming costume, whatever you feel most comfortable with. You do not need to reveal any part of your body in any way that makes you feel uncomfortable, we will do our utmost to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
A Sports massage lasts from 30 minutes.
We offer sports massage sessions which can vary depending on your needs, please enquire as to the cost of the sessions.
