What is Sports & Deep Tissue Massage?

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a sports massage?
It depends on your activity levels and goals. Active athletes may benefit fortnightly, while others find a monthly session ideal for managing tension.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
You may feel firm pressure and some tension release, but it should never be unbearable. We always work within your comfort level.
Can massage help if I sit at a desk all day?
Absolutely. Deep-tissue massage is excellent for releasing the neck, shoulder and back tension that builds up from prolonged sitting.
