Regardless of whether you exercise or play sport to keep fit, or compete from club to international level, sports massage may have something to offer you.  To benefit from a sports massage you do not need to be a sports performer.  All of our practitioners work with a great range of clients.  We only recruit practitioners who are SMA accredited to ensure that you will receive an individually tailored, high quality massage.

However, if you are a sports performer, of any level, a sports specific massage can be beneficial at various stages of participation. For example:

• The conditioning / training phase
• Pre competition
• Post competition
• Injury prevention
• Injury recovery
