Frequently asked questions

A sports massage is a deep tissue massage to enhance tissue elasticity and reduce muscle retention. It can provide more flexibility and mobility for all from athletes to the elderly.

What is a sports massage?

There are many injuries that sports massage can help treat. One of the most common injuries is back pain due to lifting heavy loads incorrectly as well as neck and shoulder pain from poor posture working at a desk or unsuitable position.

Athletes may have hamstring or quad injuries from poor preparation or lack of stretching after exercise. Other injuries may be sustained from work, activity or hobby such as whiplash.

What should I expect when I book a sports massage?

Before you arrive for your sports massage, you’ll need to complete a pre-assessment questionnaire to capture your details, medical history and reason of why you’re booking a sports massage. At your first appointment, Zoe will complete a physical assessment and discuss your symptoms and needs. Zoe will then treat accordingly – for example, sometimes where you may experience pain, may not be the cause of the issue. At the end of the appointment, Zoe will discuss after care and any necessary follow up appointments.

What others are saying

  • "I went to see Zoe to have a sports massage, the treatment I received was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Zoe was very professional; her knowledge of anatomy and physiology was second to none! She immediately made me feel comfortable which I think is very important being an anxiety sufferer, Zoe targeted all the right areas, relieving tension I didn’t even realize I had. I walked out feeling refreshed, loosened up, and ready to tackle my workouts again. Highly recommend to anyone in need of recovery or just looking to feel their best. I’ll definitely be back!"
