SPORTS MASSAGE GLASGOW

Sports massage in Glasgow — who it is for and when to book

Glasgow is a city of runners, footballers and people who head to the gym after work. Sports massage helps your body keep up with your activity.

What is sports massage

It is focused work on muscles that take the heaviest load during training. Pace and pressure are adapted to your sport, your training phase and how your body feels.

Sports massage is not only for professionals. It also suits recreational athletes and anyone doing long hours of physical work.

When to book

Many people book a few days before an event or during recovery after a hard training block, for example after the Glasgow half marathon. Right before a race, lighter work is usually a better choice.

If you train regularly, a steady rhythm such as every 2–4 weeks is popular. You can agree the right frequency with your therapist.

What a session looks like

We begin by talking about your training, any past injuries and problem areas, then focus on the chosen parts of the body. Sessions are available in 45, 60 and 90 minutes.

With a fresh injury, severe pain or swelling, see a doctor or physiotherapist first — massage does not replace a diagnosis.
