What To Expect From Sports Massage

Booking Your Massage

    Choose a time that suits you - pick the day and time that fits your schedule best.

    Confirm your booking - once you’ve booked, I’ll send a confirmation message along with an intake form for you to fill out before your appointment.

    Complete your intake form - this helps me understand your goals, any injuries or problem areas, and ensures your treatment is tailored to you.

Before Your Massage

  • Arrive a few minutes early - this gives you time to settle in and complete a short consultation form (if not already complete).

    Chat about your goals - we’ll discuss any aches, pains, injuries, or performance aims you have.

    Wear something comfortable - gym clothes or underwear are fine. You may need to adjust clothing, but you’ll always be covered for comfort and privacy.

    Hydrate well - drinking water beforehand helps your muscles respond better.

During Your Massage

  • Tailored treatment - your massage is specific to your needs, whether that’s easing tight muscles, improving mobility, or supporting recovery.

    Open communication - pressure can be adjusted at any time; you are encouraged to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

    Professional techniques - expect a mix of deep tissue, stretching, and sports massage methods designed to target problem areas.

    Relax & breathe - while it can feel intense at times, most clients describe it as a “good ache” that brings relief.

After Your Massage

  • Immediate relief - many people feel lighter, looser, and more mobile straight away.

    Post-massage advice - you’ll be given exercises or advice to help you get the most out of your session.

    Stay hydrated - drinking water helps flush out toxins and aids recovery.

    Normal sensations - you may feel slightly sore for a day or two, especially after deeper work. This is part of the healing process.

    Long-term benefits - regular treatments can reduce injury risk and support overall wellbeing.
