Your Questions Answered.
Q1
Who can benefit from Sports Massage or Soft Tissue Therapy?
Anyone — not just athletes. Whether you’re active in sport, have a physically demanding job, spend long hours at a desk, or deal with everyday stiffness or pain, our treatments can help. Sports massage and soft tissue therapy work to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility and support better posture and function.
Q2
What should I expect during a first appointment?
Your first session begins with a consultation and movement assessment to understand your history, current complaints and physical demands. From there, we tailor a treatment plan — which could include massage, soft-tissue techniques, dry needling, hot stones, cupping or rehab exercises — based on your specific needs.
Q3
How often should I have treatment?
The frequency depends on your goals and needs. For regular maintenance, reducing stiffness or relieving everyday tension, sessions every 4–6 weeks can be sufficient. If you’re recovering from injury, working on mobility, or training a lot, you may benefit from more frequent treatments initially.
Q4
Is Sports Massage only for people who exercise a lot?
No. While it’s popular with athletes and regular gym-goers, sports massage — and soft tissue therapies — are equally beneficial for people who experience muscle tension, poor posture, stiffness from inactivity, or pain from work-related repetitive movements.
Q5
What techniques might be used in a session?
Depending on your needs, a session may include deep or soft-tissue massage, trigger-point / knot release, myofascial work, mobility and stretching, rehabilitation exercises, and where appropriate, complementary techniques like hot stones or cupping to enhance relaxation and circulation.
Q6
Do you help with injury recovery and long-term rehabilitation?
Yes — our injury rehabilitation service focuses on guiding recovery safely, rebuilding strength and mobility, and reducing the risk of re-injury. We design structured rehab plans that may include soft tissue therapy, tailored exercises and progressive treatment, helping you return to daily life, work or training stronger and more resilient.
