Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body. This type of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience chronic pain, tension, or stiffness in specific areas.

Key Features of Deep Tissue Massage:

1. Targeted Pressure: Deep tissue massage employs slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure to penetrate deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This helps release tension and alleviate pain in specific areas.

2. Relief from Chronic Pain: It is especially effective for addressing chronic pain conditions, such as lower back pain, neck stiffness, and muscle tension resulting from repetitive movements or injuries.

3. Release of Muscle Tension: By focusing on knots and tight muscles, deep tissue massage can help break down adhesions (scar tissue) and promote relaxation in overworked muscles. This can lead to improved mobility and flexibility.

4. Increased Blood Flow: The technique enhances circulation, which aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. This increased blood flow can also help in the healing process of injuries.

5. Integration of Techniques: Deep tissue massage may incorporate various techniques, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching, to effectively target problem areas.

6. Personalized Treatment: Each session is tailored to the client's specific needs, allowing the therapist to focus on areas of discomfort or tension that require attention.

7. Emotional Benefits: In addition to physical relief, deep tissue massage can also promote emotional well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, leading to an overall sense of relaxation and calm.

Overall, deep tissue massage is an effective approach for those seeking to relieve chronic pain, improve muscle function, and enhance overall well-being. It is recommended for individuals who are comfortable with deeper pressure and are looking for a more intense therapeutic experience.

Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to enhance athletic performance and aid in the recovery process for athletes and active individuals. This technique focuses on specific muscle groups and areas of the body that are commonly used in sports and physical activities. 

Key Features of Sports Massage:

1. Enhancement of Performance: Sports massage helps improve flexibility and range of motion, allowing athletes to perform at their best. It prepares the body for intense physical activity by warming up the muscles and increasing circulation.

2. Injury Prevention: By focusing on muscle tightness and imbalances, sports massage can help reduce the risk of injury. It addresses areas of tension and promotes proper alignment, which is crucial for injury prevention.

3. Recovery Support: After intense workouts or competitions, sports massage aids in the recovery process by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue. It facilitates the removal of metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, from the muscles.

4. Techniques Used: Sports massage incorporates various techniques, including deep tissue massage, stretching, and trigger point therapy. The therapist may use firm pressure and specific strokes to target problem areas.

5. Tailored Approach: Each session is personalised to the athlete's needs, taking into account their sport, training regimen, and any existing injuries or areas of concern.

6. Mental Benefits: In addition to physical advantages, sports massage can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting mental relaxation and focus, which are essential for optimal performance.

Overall, sports massage is an effective tool for athletes looking to enhance their performance, recover from injuries, and maintain their physical well-being.

Active Recovery massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on helping the body recover from intense physical activity, injury, or stress by enhancing circulation, reducing muscle tension, and improving flexibility. It combines elements of deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and stretching to promote faster healing and prevent further injury.  This massage may also include use of Peloton AI-assisted strength, stretch or relaxation movements.  We'll also set you up with a FREE Peloton app so you can continue recovery at home, the gym or anywhere you're connected.

Here’s how Active Recovery massage works:

1. Targeting Specific Muscle Groups:
The massage therapist works on the muscles that are fatigued or tight from exercise, injury, or overuse. The focus is on releasing muscle tension, alleviating soreness, and improving the range of motion in these areas.

2. Active Engagement:
Unlike traditional massage, Active Recovery often includes some degree of active participation from the recipient. This may involve moving or contracting muscles during the massage, allowing the therapist to manipulate the muscles more effectively. This could include gentle stretching or exercises that encourage muscle activation while the therapist works on loosening tight areas.

3. Increased Circulation and Oxygen Flow:
The techniques used in Active Recovery massage help increase blood flow to the muscles, which promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients necessary for tissue repair. This improved circulation also helps to flush out metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, that build up after strenuous physical activity.

4. Relief from DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness):
Active Recovery is often used to combat the discomfort associated with DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), which can occur after intense exercise. By addressing tightness and stiffness, the massage helps speed up recovery and can reduce the severity of post-exercise soreness.

5. Promoting Flexibility and Mobility:
This type of massage helps to lengthen muscles, release fascia (connective tissue), and improve joint mobility. It’s particularly beneficial for athletes or those engaging in repetitive movements that lead to muscular imbalances.

6. Focus on Relaxation and Stress Relief:
While the primary focus is on physical recovery, Active Recovery massage can also be deeply relaxing. Reducing muscle tension and promoting circulation can help calm the nervous system and improve overall well-being.

Ideal Candidates:
- Athletes looking to recover from training or competition.
- Active individuals who experience regular muscle stiffness or fatigue.
- People recovering from injuries to help regain strength and mobility.
- Those experiencing chronic muscle tension or stress-related pain.

In essence, Active Recovery massage is an ideal option for anyone who wants to speed up recovery after exertion or injury, while also improving their flexibility and preventing future discomfort.
