sports massage
deep-tissue treatment designed to restore normal muscle function — for injury prevention and post-exercise recovery.
what to expect.
when you exercise, your muscles experience micro-tears and accumulate lactic acid. the result is soreness one to five days after activity — doms, or delayed onset muscle soreness. that's normal, but the heavy feeling can affect training and confidence.
sports massage helps minimise those effects and keeps you training consistently.
