MASSAGE FAQ's
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
My independent therapy room is in Worthing (at Worthing Leisure Centre) which is on the south coast of West Sussex - only about a 35 minute drive from Brighton heading West, and Bognor heading East.
WHO IS SPORTS MASSAGE FOR?
Literally any person engaged in some form of regular physical activity. Sports massage was originally designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise can also enhance performance and muscle growth, aid recovery and prevent injury.
CAN I HAVE SPORTS MASSAGE FOR RELAXING?
Yes, and a lot of people do. It's a harder form of massage therapy which can be very invigorating and a stress reliever.
CAN I HAVE SPORTS MASSAGE FOR A 'BAD BACK'?
Yes, by treating the muscles in and around the area a lot of relief can be gained.
WHY IS IT ONLY FOR MEN?
I understand that men have unique physiological and wellness needs so this service is designed to address that comprehensively, making it a comfortable and supportive environment where men can prioritise their health and fitness goals without hesitation or judgement.
