Advice
for your next session
What is happening
Understanding your pain comes first.
A sports massage from a physiotherapist is more than a rub-down: we check how your body is responding to training, release areas of tension and look out for early signs of injury.
We can combine it with compression therapy and Cryopush cold therapy to help you feel fresher after hard sessions, long rides or race day.
What we treat
- Post-race and post-ride recovery
- Muscle tightness and overload
- Heavy, tired legs
- Recovery during training camps
- Neck and back tension after travelling
- Pre-event preparation

Good to know
Before you book.
Not a spa
Every session is led by a registered physiotherapist, so if something needs more than massage, we will tell you.
Timing
Light recovery work can be done soon after an event; deeper work is best kept away from race day.
What the evidence says
Massage mainly helps how recovered you feel and reduces muscle soreness. It works best alongside good sleep, nutrition and load management.
