FAQ's:

• ​What's is the difference between a Sports Massage and a normal massage?
  A sports massage focuses on deep tissue techniques to relieve muscle tension, aid recovery, and improve performance, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals. A normal massage, such as a Swedish or relaxation massage, is gentler and aims to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve circulation.

​

• How often should I get a massage? 
  How often you should get a sports massage depends on your activity level, training intensity, and recovery needs. Athletes or those with regular physical activity may benefit from weekly sessions, while others might find a massage every 4 weeks sufficient for maintenance and injury prevention.

​

• What is the difference between a deep tissue massage and a sports massage?
  A deep tissue massage focuses on relieving chronic muscle tension and tightness using slow, firm pressure, making it suitable for general pain relief. A sports massage, while also using deep tissue techniques, is specifically tailored for individuals to enhance performance, aid recovery, prevent injuries, and relieve chronic tension and pain.
