45 Minute Sports Massage

What the 45 Minute Sports Massage works on

This session is designed to find and treat the specific muscles that are contributing to restriction, soreness or recurring tight spots.

• Quick check-in on training load, recent niggles, and where you feel tight or limited.
• Warm-up strokes to increase circulation and prepare the tissue for deeper work.
• Deep tissue and trigger point techniques to release stubborn knots and reduce protective muscle guarding.
• Targeted work for common problem areas: legs (calves, quads, hamstrings), hips and glutes, lower back, upper back and shoulders.
• Mobility-focused stretching to help you keep the gains once you stand up and move.
• Practical aftercare guidance: what you may feel over the next 24 to 48 hours and how to settle it.

Sports massage for training recovery, desk tension and recurring tight spots

A 45 minute sports massage is often booked when you want more than relaxation and need hands-on work in problem areas.

• Post-run or gym soreness that lingers in the legs or hips.
• Tight shoulders, neck and upper back from screens, driving or repetitive work.
• A feeling of limited range, for example stiff ankles, hips, or thoracic spine.
• Heavy legs, glute tightness or lower back tension after sport.
• A build-up of tightness when you are increasing training volume.

How a 45 minute sports massage session is structured

You will agree pressure levels at the start, and you can ask for changes at any point.

1. Brief consultation to pinpoint priority areas and what you want to feel different afterwards.
2. Tissue warm-up, then deeper work in the main target muscles.
3. Specific release techniques where tight bands or trigger points are found.
4. Stretching and movement-based work to finish, so the area feels looser and more usable.

After your sports massage: keeping the muscles looser for longer

You may feel tender in worked areas, similar to post-workout soreness, especially after deep trigger point work. Light movement and steady hydration usually help, and you may be advised to avoid very heavy training for the rest of the day if the area was particularly tight. If you are using sports massage to stay on top of recurring issues, regular sessions can help maintain mobility during busy training blocks.
