What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a restorative, empowering form of bodywork designed to help women feel stronger, freer, and more connected to their bodies.
This targeted, therapeutic form of massage is designed to support active women at every level of fitness — from occasional gym-goers to competitive athletes. It goes beyond simple relaxation, focusing on relieving muscle tension, improving flexibility, enhancing performance, speeding up recovery after exercise or daily physical demands and supporting your body’s natural ability to move, perform, and recover.
Unlike a general relaxation massage, sports massage uses deeper pressure and specific techniques to address areas of tightness, imbalance, or overuse. It can help ease soreness and keep your body moving freely and confidently.
Whether you’re training for a goal, balancing a busy lifestyle, or simply taking time to care for yourself, sports massage helps you restore balance, improve mobility and prevent injury.
Each session is tailored to your body’s unique needs — meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move forward with confidence and vitality.
It’s more than just a massage; it’s a moment to reconnect with your strength, honour your body’s hard work, and give yourself the care you truly deserve.

Techniques used in Sports Massage:
Effleurage
A technique involving long, smooth, gliding strokes with the hands over the skin, which can be light or firm depending on the goal.
It is often used at the beginning of a massage to warm up the tissues and help you relax.
It is also used to connect other techniques and to end the session.
Its benefits include improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, and stress reduction.
Petrissage
A technique involving kneading, squeezing, and lifting soft tissues to release muscle tension and promote relaxation.
This technique uses hands, fingers, and thumbs to apply deep, rhythmic pressure to muscles, helping to break down knots, improve circulation, and increase the elasticity of tissues.
Tapotement
A technique involving rapid, rhythmic blows to the body to stimulate muscles and increase circulation.
This technique uses various strokes like hacking, cupping, pounding and tapping.
It is often used for pre-event preparation and to help muscles recover by increasing blood flow and reducing tension.
Friction and Vibration
Friction is a deep, circular or cross-fiber movement applied with fingers or thumbs to increase circulation and break down adhesions.
Vibration is a rapid, shaking or trembling movement that stimulates soft tissues to promote relaxation and reduce tension.
Both techniques relieve muscle tension and improve circulation.
