FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need to be an athlete to book sports massage?

No. Sports massage is for anyone who enjoys being active, from occasional gym visits and recreational activities to regular training and competitive sport.

How is sports massage different from a regular massage?

Sports massage focuses on the muscles and areas relevant to your activities and goals. Your RMT considers your training routine, repetitive movements, and areas of tension when planning your session.

Does sports massage always use deep pressure?

No. Sports massage does not need to be deep or painful. Your RMT will work with you to choose appropriate pressure and adjust it throughout the session based on your feedback.

Can I book for one specific area?

Yes. You can request focused treatment for an area such as your legs, shoulders, or back. Your RMT will discuss your concerns and agree on a treatment plan with you.

What should I tell my RMT before treatment?

Share your usual activities, recent changes in training, areas of discomfort, and any injuries or relevant health information. Mention upcoming workouts or events so your RMT can consider them when planning your session.
