Frequently asked questions
No, a sports massage should never be painful. It might feel slightly uncomfortable at times when I uses stronger pressure but you can always ask for it to be lighter.
It depends on the type of pain. A sports massage is likely to help with muscle soreness and tightness after a workout, but for medical conditions like arthritis, it’s better to see a doctor or physiotherapist.
No, sports massages aren’t safe if you’re pregnant
Yes, but I recommend getting one no later than 72 hours before your race, and asking me to keep the pressure fairly light. That will make sure your muscles have time to recover before the event.
To keep you and myself safe, it’s important to hold off on getting a massage if you’re unwell with a fever or flu-like symptoms, or if you have a contagious skin disease. I have the right to cancel your treatment if I think it will harm you or myself in any way.
If you have a health condition and you’re not sure about booking a massage, consult your GP for advice beforehand.
