WHY SHOULD I GET A MASSAGE?

Sports massage isn't just for athletes! It's a fantastic way to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery, whether you're a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone dealing with everyday stress and muscle tightness. Regular sports massage can help prevent injuries, reduce pain, and improve your overall flexibility and performance. It’s tailored to your needs, whether you're preparing for an event, recovering from an intense workout, or just looking to feel your best.

WHAT IS SPORTS THERAPY?

Sports therapy is a specialized form of healthcare focused on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries. It’s not just for athletes—anyone can benefit from sports therapy, whether you're dealing with a sports injury, a work-related strain, or general aches and pains. The goal is to help you recover quickly, improve your physical function, and reduce the risk of future injuries. Sports therapists use a combination of hands-on techniques, exercise therapy, and advice to get you back to your best.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE MASSAGE/SPORTS/REHABILITATION THERAPY?

Choosing massage, sports, or rehabilitation therapy can be a game-changer for your overall well-being. These therapies are designed to alleviate pain, speed up recovery, and enhance your physical performance. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply aiming to improve your mobility and strength, these therapies offer personalized care tailored to your needs. By addressing the root causes of discomfort and promoting long-term health, they help you stay active, healthy, and at your best.

ARE ANY OF THESE TREATMENTS WORTH IT?

Absolutely! Massage, sports, and rehabilitation therapies are much more than just quick fixes—they're valuable investments in your long-term health and well-being. These treatments help manage pain, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries, which can save you from more serious health issues down the line. By addressing the root causes of discomfort and helping your body recover properly, they contribute to better physical and mental health. Think of it as giving your body the care it needs to stay strong, resilient, and ready for whatever life throws your way. Over time, this proactive approach can reduce healthcare costs, enhance your quality of life, and keep you doing the activities you love with less risk of setbacks.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING? WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

For your session, you don’t need to bring much—just yourself and maybe a water bottle to stay hydrated (we have some if you forget). As for what to wear, comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best. If you're coming for a sports massage, wearing something like gym shorts and a t-shirt can make it easier to access the areas that need treatment. For rehabilitation therapy, wear clothes that allow for easy movement, like workout gear, so you can comfortably perform any exercises. We'll make sure you feel at ease and prepared for your session.

WHAT SHOULD/SHOULDN’T I DO AFTER TREATMENT?

After your treatment, it’s important to give your body the time it needs to recover and make the most of the session. Here are a few tips:

What you should do:

• Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps flush out toxins released during the treatment.

• Rest: Give your muscles time to recover, especially if the treatment was intense.

• Follow any advice or exercises given: This can help maintain the benefits of the treatment and speed up recovery.

What you shouldn't do:

• Avoid strenuous activities: Right after treatment, your muscles need time to heal, so it’s best to skip any intense workouts or heavy lifting.

• Don’t skip your aftercare routine: Whether it's stretching, icing, or resting, following the recommended aftercare helps enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

• Avoid alcohol and heavy meals: These can dehydrate you and counteract the benefits of the therapy.

By taking these steps, you’ll help ensure a smooth recovery and maximize the benefits of your treatment.

DO YOU ACCEPT DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS?

We do! The booking system will ask for card details but NOT charge you when booking an appointment. This is to protect against late cancellations and no-shows. But it also means we can charge the card on file after the session, which means less time with admin and more time getting treatment!

If you want to charge a different card, we can switch to another one at your appointment or you can pay by card using the card machine. We also accept cash if that’s your preferred payment option!

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL/RESCHEDULE?

Our booking system allows you to cancel or reschedule up to 12 hours in advance of your appointment. It also takes your card details only to protect against late cancellations and no-shows.

If you do cancel with 12 hours or less notice (or not show up), you’ll be charged a 50% fee. There are no exceptions to this. We are an appointment-based business with ongoing expenses that we must pay regardless of whether clients come to their appointments.

We get that things happen, but by booking with us, you accept our cancellation/no-show policy (which you agree to as part of our booking process).Fortunately, this is extremely rare, so please respect our business as much as you would like to be respected! Thank you.
