Why it works
The benefits of sports massage
Faster recovery
Sports massage accelerates the removal of metabolic waste and promotes circulation to fatigued tissue, reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and shortening recovery windows.
Injury prevention
Regular maintenance sessions identify and address developing tightness before it becomes a problem, keeping muscles supple, balanced and less prone to strain.
Improved range of motion
By working on fascia and muscle extensibility, sports massage directly improves flexibility and joint mobility, translating to better movement quality in your activity.
Performance readiness
Pre-event sports massage stimulates the nervous system and increases tissue temperature, preparing the body for the demands of competition or intense training.

Common questions
Sports Massage: FAQ
When should I book a sports massage, before or after exercise?+
Both serve different purposes. Pre-event massage (24–48 hours before) prepares the body and can improve performance readiness. Post-event massage (24+ hours after) aids recovery. Maintenance sessions (between training cycles) are most effective for long-term benefit.
I'm not a competitive athlete, is sports massage still right for me?+
Absolutely. Anyone who exercises regularly, plays recreational sport, or has a physically active lifestyle benefits from sports massage. The techniques are simply applied to whatever demands your body faces.
How is sports massage different from deep tissue?+
Sports massage uses many of the same techniques as deep tissue but is specifically structured around athletic loading patterns and recovery. It also incorporates movement-based techniques like muscle energy work that aren't typically part of deep tissue massage.
Can you help with a specific injury?+
Paul works with many soft tissue complaints: tight ITB, hamstring niggles, shoulder impingement, plantar fasciitis and more. Always let him know the history of any injury so he can work appropriately.
