Treatments available
Sports Massage is designed to support injury prevention, rehabilitation, performance enhancement, and overall muscle maintenance. It targets specific muscles and soft tissues that are stressed during physical activity, addressing areas of tension, tightness, or overuse.

Friction – Deep, circular movements to break down adhesions and scar tissue.
Tapotement – Rhythmic tapping to stimulate muscles and nerve endings.

By combining these techniques, Sports Massage helps improve circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility, allowing you to recover faster and move more efficiently.
