Treatments

Level 4 Sports Massage / Deep Tissue Therapy

As Level 4–qualified sports massage therapists, we can help with:

1. Treating specific soft-tissue injuries

• Muscle strains
• Tendon issues (tendinopathies)
• Ligament sprains
• Chronic tightness or adhesions

We’re trained to assess injuries, not just massage.

2. Correcting muscle imbalances

Through assessment and targeted soft-tissue techniques, we can help address:

• Overactive/tight muscles
• Weak or underused muscles
• Postural issues affecting performance

3. Improving athletic performance

We can design treatments that:

• Increase range of motion
• Improve movement efficiency
• Reduce fatigue buildup

4. Pain reduction

Effective for muscular and soft-tissue–based pain, including:

• Lower-back discomfort
• Shoulder/neck tightness
• Hip or leg pain due to training

5. Rehabilitation support

We can support rehab using:

• Soft-tissue release
• Myofascial techniques
• Neuromuscular techniques
• Trigger-point therapy

6. Injury prevention

By identifying risk factors (e.g., restricted joints, tight fascia, weak stabilisers), we can help prevent recurring injuries.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a bodywork technique that uses suction cups on the skin to create negative pressure. This helps lift soft tissue, increase circulation, and release tension.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy

1. Relieving muscle tension and knots

• Loosen tight muscles
• Reduce stiffness
• Release trigger points

This makes it popular among athletes and people with chronic tightness in the back, shoulders, and legs.

2. Increasing blood flow and circulation

Cupping draws blood to the surface, which may help:

• Speed up recovery
• Reduce soreness
• Improve tissue healing

3. Reducing pain

• People often use cupping for:
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Shoulder and hip tightness
• Post-exercise soreness

4. Improving flexibility and range of motion

By relieving tension in fascia and muscles, cupping can help you move more freely.

5. Supporting relaxation and stress reduction

The session can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, creating a calming effect.

6. Helping with inflammation

The increased circulation may help the body move inflammatory cytokines and promote healing.
