Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a specialist massage technique designed to relieve tension and discomfort in deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue.
Using firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes, this technique targets areas of tightness caused by everyday stressors such as long hours at a desk, intense physical activity, or general muscle fatigue. By breaking down adhesions and improving circulation, deep tissue massage helps to alleviate stiffness, promote relaxation, and enhance overall mobility. It is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic muscle pain, postural issues, or sports-related injuries.
Pre-post event Massage
We also offer pre-event massage as a general ‘flush out’ to improve your:
- Circulation
- Muscle relaxation
- Sense of 'freshness' pre-event to help you perform to your best.
We then offer post events massage to:
- Help you recover faster.
- Get you back to training sooner.
- Reduce the risk of injuries.
Soft Tissue massage
Restore your overall flexibility and ease muscle tension with a soft tissue massage. This therapeutic technique is ideal for sports rehabilitation and general muscle recovery, using gentle yet effective methods to promote muscle elasticity and prevent stiffness.
Soft tissue massage works by applying controlled pressure and stretching movements to release tension, enhance circulation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It also helps to relax muscles, boost endorphin production, and support overall well-being, making it an excellent choice for athletes, active individuals, and anyone looking to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.

- Athletes and Runners – to reduce recovery time, improve circulation, and lower injury risk.

- Older Adults – to maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and improve joint comfort.
- People With Chronic Pain – to relieve tension, aid relaxation, and support pain management.
- Anyone Seeking Wellbeing – to reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall health.
