Frequently Asked Questions
What is sports massage and how is it different from a regular massage?
Sports massage is a more targeted and treatment-focused approach compared to a standard relaxation massage.
While it can still help you relax, it also aims to identify and address areas of tension, imbalance, or dysfunction within the body. This means your treatment can be adapted to focus on what your body needs, not just where it feels tight.
Are your massage therapists qualified?
Yes—our massage therapists are Level 5 qualified, which is one of the highest levels of training in soft tissue therapy.
This means they are trained not only to deliver effective massage, but also to assess what’s happening in your body and apply more advanced, targeted techniques where needed.
Can I still have a normal, relaxing massage?
Absolutely.
If you’re looking to relax and unwind, we can tailor your session to be more traditional and calming. If you prefer a more focused, treatment-based approach, we can adapt the session accordingly.
Your massage is always tailored to your goals.
Can massage help with neck and shoulder tension?
Yes—massage is one of the most effective ways to relieve neck and shoulder tension, which is often caused by desk work, stress, or poor posture.
Treatment focuses on releasing tight muscles, improving circulation, and reducing discomfort. Depending on your needs, this can be a more relaxing massage or a deeper, more targeted approach to address specific areas of tension.
Many people also find that relieving tension in this area helps reduce associated headaches and improves overall movement.
What conditions can massage help with?
Massage can help with muscle tension, back and neck pain, sports injuries, stress, and general stiffness.
It can also support recovery, improve circulation, and help you move more freely.
How long are massage appointments?
We offer 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute sessions, depending on your needs.
Shorter sessions are ideal for focusing on a specific area, while longer sessions allow for a more comprehensive treatment.
Do I need to be sporty to benefit from sports massage?
No—not at all.
Despite the name, sports massage is suitable for anyone experiencing muscle tension, stiffness, or discomfort, whether from exercise, work, or daily life.
Does sports massage hurt?
Sports massage can sometimes feel more intense than a relaxation massage, especially when working on tight or sensitive areas.
However, it should always be within your comfort levels, and your therapist will adjust the pressure based on your feedback.
How often should I have a massage?
This depends on your goals.
Some people benefit from occasional sessions for relaxation, while others—particularly those with ongoing tension or training regularly—may benefit from more regular treatment.
We can advise you on what would work best for you.
Will my massage be tailored to me?
Yes—every session is tailored to you.
Our therapists take the time to understand what you’re feeling and assess how your body is functioning, allowing them to focus on the areas that will have the most impact.
This means your treatment is not just based on symptoms, but on what’s actually contributing to them.
Do you work with other practitioners if needed?
Yes—this is a key part of our approach.
Our massage therapists work closely with chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and strength & conditioning coaches within the clinic. We share notes and communicate regularly, so your care is aligned and working towards the best possible outcome.
Should I book a massage or see another practitioner?
If you’re mainly looking to reduce muscle tension, relax, or address general tightness, massage is a great option.
If your issue is more complex or persistent, we may recommend starting with a chiropractor, osteopath, or physiotherapist—or guide you via a free 15-minute discovery consultation to ensure you see the right person.
