After training or repeated physical activity, your muscles can continue to feel tight, heavy or sore even when you’re ready to get moving again.
The same areas keep tightening
Calves, hamstrings, hips, shoulders or the lower back can keep tightening when the same areas are repeatedly loaded through running, training or other physical activity.
Movement starts to feel restricted
Built-up muscle tension can leave movement feeling tighter or more restricted, whether you’re running, training at the gym, playing sport or simply staying active.
Your massage therapist
Hi, I’m Jane, a massage therapist with over 15 years of experience.
I adapt each sports massage around your activity, where your muscles feel most tight or overworked and how your body responds during the treatment.
Your activity, training and recovery shape where the treatment focuses. ↓
How we approach sports massage
Your activity shapes the treatment
We start by talking about your training, sport or physical activity, how your body has been feeling and where you notice the most strain or recurring tightness.
We look at where the load is building
The area that feels tight is part of a bigger picture.
We consider which areas are repeatedly working hardest during your activity and where tension tends to build.
The treatment changes with your body
Sports massage isn’t a fixed routine.
The areas we focus on, the techniques we use and the intensity of the work change depending on what we find and how your body responds.
Our Signature Technique
Decompression before focused hands-on work
Vacuum cups help unload tight areas When muscles already feel tight and overloaded, adding more downward pressure isn’t always the best place to start.
Vacuum cups lift the tissue rather than pressing down, helping ease built-up tension before more focused hands-on work.
Vacuum cups can leave temporary marks, which usually fade within 5–10 days.
Hands-on work focuses where you need it Hands-on massage then continues through areas that remain tight or restricted, with the pressure and technique adapted to how your body responds.
The balance between vacuum and hands-on work changes depending on what we find and where your body is carrying the most load.
