Sports Massage
Sports massage is for people who are physically active — whether you're training at the gym, running, or playing contact sports like BJJ or boxing. It targets the muscle groups under strain from your training, helps prevent injury, and speeds up recovery. You don't have to be an athlete — if you're active and your body is feeling the effects, this is the treatment for you.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It's particularly effective for chronic tension, long-standing knots, and postural problems that have built up over time — whether from sitting at a desk, physical work, or years of accumulated stress. This is slower, more focused work that gets into the areas causing persistent pain.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses small suction cups placed on the skin to lift and decompress the tissue underneath. Deep tissue massage works by pressing down into a muscle. Cupping works the other way, drawing the tissue upwards instead. No hand pressure is applied at all.
That difference matters if you find conventional deep tissue work too uncomfortable to tolerate. Sensitivity to sustained pressure is common, and it shouldn't stop you getting your back and shoulders worked on. Cupping is a way to reach tight areas without pressing into them. Most people describe the sensation as a strong pull rather than a sharp pain.
The cups stay in place for a few minutes at a time. Afterwards you may be left with round marks where each cup sat. These are normal, they are not painful, and they fade on their own. You'll be talked through all of it before we start, and cupping is only ever used if you're comfortable with it.
Certified in dry cupping, which uses suction only. No heat and no broken skin. Cupping is included within any Sports Massage or Deep Tissue session at no extra charge. Just mention it when you book, or on the day.
