People recovering from injury who need targeted soft tissue work alongside physiotherapy
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a specialised form of deep tissue massage focused on treating and preventing sports injuries, improving flexibility, and enhancing athletic performance. Unlike general relaxation massage, sports massage targets specific problem areas using techniques including:
Deep tissue massage
Myofascial release
Trigger point therapy
Muscle energy techniques
As a CORU-registered Chartered Physiotherapist with a background working with Ireland's elite athletes—including the Irish National Boxing Team and Olympic medallists—I combine sports massage with clinical assessment and evidence-based treatment to address the root cause of your issue, not just the symptoms.
