Sports & Remedial Massage
Sports Massage is an effective treatment for muscular problems from physical activity, poor posture, repetitive actions, stress and even long hours of inactivity.
It’s a common misconception that it’s for Sports people only and in fact is suitable for all ages and levels of activity. A large component of Sports Massage is Deep Tissue Massage – but the main difference is the more clinical approach where your therapist will use a range of techniques to achieve a desired outcome with less focus on relaxation.
That desired outcome is often reducing aches and pains but it could also be getting a client ready for a sporting event, speeding up recovery after an endurance event or helping reduce muscular tension from long hours at work.

Post-Event / Post-Exercise Work
This Sports Massage focuses on speeding up recovery time following physical activity, essential if you are serious about your sport or gym work. This treatment can play an important role in helping reduce the impact when training for endurance events such as the Sussex Beacon Half Marathon in February or The Brighton & Hove Marathon in April. We already work with many Brighton based runners to help improve their performance and help deal with their aches and pains when they occur.
