What to Expect from Treatment
What Happens in a Session
Your RMT will focus on the muscle groups most relevant to your sport or activity. Techniques may include deeper strokes, cross-fibre friction, trigger point work, and myofascial release. Pressure is adapted to whether you are pre-event (lighter, activating) or post-event (deeper, restorative).
Frequently Asked Questions
Sports massage is a form of therapeutic massage designed for active people. It uses a combination of techniques to support performance, speed recovery, prevent injury, and maintain the health of muscles under regular training stress.
Pre-event: 24–48 hours before competition. Post-event: within 24–48 hours for recovery. Maintenance: regularly between events to prevent cumulative tension and overuse injuries.
It can feel intense in areas of significant tension or overuse. A good sports massage therapist works at the edge of productive discomfort, not pain.
Sports massage can support recovery from minor strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. For acute or significant injuries, consult a physician or physiotherapist first.
