Sports Massage
(45*, 60 & 90 minutes)
*Area specific
Pressure Level Guide - Medium & Firm
Sports massage is ideal for anyone seeking treatment for injuries, repetitive strains or wear & tear that have developed over time in specific soft tissue, fascia, and muscle areas, whether that be from sport specifically or from day-to-day life. This targeted approach focuses on the body parts that are healing or need relief.
Sports massage involves the manipulation of soft tissue, benefiting individuals who engage in regular physical activity including traditional sports, or activities such as gardening. Originally developed to help athletes prevent and recover from injuries, sports massage is now widely used by both athletes and non-athletes to alleviate the effects of physical injury. The technique includes fast-paced massaging, stretching, and other methods to promote healing.
This method can be utilised as a pre-workout stretch, tailored to prepare the muscles before physical activity, or as a post-workout massage designed to aid muscle recovery and reduce soreness.

Swedish massage is renowned for its gentle approach, making it an ideal choice for those seeking relaxation, stress relief, and a general sense of rejuvenation.
The primary goal of this treatment is to encourage relaxation, improve blood circulation, ease muscle knots, and reduce stress and tension. Swedish massage targets the superficial layers of muscles using a combination of gentle gliding strokes, kneading, tapping, friction, and stretching, often using a blend of Absolute Aromas Massage oils to best support your desired treatment outcome.
The therapist's hands, palms and fingertips will be used to deliver varying degrees of pressure, catering to the individual's preferences and specific areas of tension. The strokes employed in Swedish massage not only promote relaxation but also assist in the removal of metabolic waste products from muscles and tissues, thereby contributing to improved physical and mental well-being.
We also offer a Hot Stone and Swedish hybrid Massage treatment. This massage starts by using hot stones to help relax the muscles and enable some deeper work. A relaxing Swedish massage then follows to help ease any tension and tightness in the neck, shoulders and lower back in a more gentle way.

This massage is especially beneficial for those recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic swelling, or simply looking to boost their immune system and detoxify their body. By promoting the natural flow of lymphatic fluids, this method aids in reducing inflammation and enhancing overall health.
