Sports Massage
Sports Massage uses techniques such as deep pressure, stretching, and soft tissue release to reduce tension, improve flexibility, and speed up recovery.
You are here: Home »
Sports Massage is a therapeutic technique designed to target muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are stressed during physical activity. By using deep pressure, stretching, and various massage techniques, it helps reduce muscle tightness, prevent injuries, and accelerate healing after exercise. It’s commonly used by athletes to improve flexibility and decrease recovery time.
Do you have to be sporty to book this type of massage? No, you don’t have to be sporty to benefit from a Sports Massage! We offer a bespoke approach so your appointment is tailored to your needs.
Here are a few ways a Sports Massage can help anyone:
- While it is commonly used by athletes to help with muscle recovery and injury prevention, sports massage is also great for anyone experiencing muscle tension, stress, or discomfort due to daily activities, poor posture, or sitting for long periods.
- It can help improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and even increase flexibility.
- People who engage in any physical activity (not necessarily “sport”) like gardening, walking, or lifting heavy objects can also benefit.
In addition, you may wish to add Dry Cupping Therapy to your Sports Massage session to help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote faster recovery by targeting deep layers of muscle and fascia.

Dry Cupping Therapy
As an optional supplement to you Sports Massage, Keeley is also trained in Dry Cupping Therapy.
Dry Cupping is a Sports Massage technique whereby suction cups are used on the skin to lift the muscle and fascia. This helps to increase blood flow, which improves tissue mobility and hence your body’s natural healing response. This in turn aids relaxation and well-being, and helps to reduce muscle tension.
