This is a deeper, invigorating massage especially for those who take part in sporting activities. If you workout in the gym, do aerobic exercise, cycle, play football, rugby or tennis or do any kind of physical sport, then you will greatly benefit from a sports massage. It is designed to prepare you for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to improve range of movement in joints, to improve muscle flexibility, to shorten recovery time between workouts and to prevent injuries. Techniques include Swedish strokes, deep tissue, pressure-point work and joint mobilisation.

This type of massage also lends itself to being more focused on a problem area. For example in the case of a runner, the focus will be on the muscles of the legs and buttocks as well as mobilisation of the ankle, knee and hip joints.

It is also good for people who do little or no exercise! If you suffer from tension in the neck or shoulders, or have aches and pains in the back, legs or buttocks, then a deep tissue massage will encourage release of muscular tension.
