Depending on the injury, the aim of the sessions is to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tightness, relieve muscle spasm, develop strength, improve balance/proprioception, increase range of movement and improve both function and performance. Sports massage is a manual technique applied to the body’s soft tissues. It is a deep and intense massage treatment. In addition, the treatment uses various techniques involving stretching, toning, friction and
compression. It is invigorating and can effectively treat muscular damage, overuse injuries, muscle tension and reduce the risk of injury.
Sports massage can be used for maintenance massage, pre- and post-exercise events and for injury rehabilitation. The soft tissue techniques of this treatment are effective in the
management of both acute and chronic injuries. Furthermore, it can speed up the body’s
healing process and reduce discomfort and pain from injury. Such intervention combined with an active gym rehabilitation programme guided by our therapists will help manage and improve your condition.

It is quite common that our chiropractors and physiotherapist refer to our in-house sports massage specialist for in depth soft tissue work.
Our pregnancy massage is designed to provide relief and relaxation during all stages of pregnancy. This treatment helps reduce back and joint pain, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension.

Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing therapy that involves the use of smooth, heated stones. The warmth of the stones helps improve blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote deep relaxation. This treatment is particularly effective for relieving stress, reducing chronic pain, and improving overall well-being. The combination of heat and manual techniques ensures a truly soothing experience.
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction promotes blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and helps remove toxins from the body. It is an effective treatment for chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and sports recovery. Our therapists combine cupping with other manual techniques for a comprehensive approach to healing.
Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique used to relieve muscular pain and tension. This treatment involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points in the muscles. It helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery from injuries. Dry needling is often combined with other therapies to achieve optimal results, especially for chronic conditions or deep-seated muscle tightness.
