Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage

Sports massage targets muscle strains, joint pain, and postural issues to prevent and treat injuries. It helps relieve pain and improve range of motion for everyone—not just athletes.

Personalised Sports Massage Treatment

Your therapist begins with an assessment, checking your range of motion and noting tight or restricted areas to tailor your treatment. After the massage, muscles may feel worked, warm, or tender, with reduced pain and improved movement.

What is the difference between deep tissue and sports massage?

Sports Massage
We use skilled techniques to target specific areas and muscles of the body. Sports massage aims to reduce incidence of injury, recover from injuries, and improve performance in any sport you undertake. Perfect for people who work hard in sports or in the gym and need a bit of help to recover.
More focussed on relaxation and stress relief, deep tissue massage works through manipulation of the muscle tissue and fascia. Reducing muscle tension, helping general muscle pain, and helping you to destress! Find out why we’re rated number one for deep tissue massage in Aberdeen.

Our Sport Massage Techniques

Our therapists utilise a variety of techniques tailored to your specific needs, including:
  • Deep tissue massage
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Myofascial release
  • Passive stretching


Each technique is chosen based on your goals and the condition of your muscles. Deep tissue massage targets chronic tension and tightness, while trigger point therapy releases painful knots that limit movement. Myofascial release helps improve flexibility by easing restrictions in connective tissues, and passive stretching supports better range of motion and recovery.

  • Athletes of all levels
  • Runners
  • Cyclists
  • Swimmers
  • Anyone experiencing muscle pain or tightness


Sports massage and deep tissue massage aren’t just for professional athletes, they’re ideal for anyone who wants to stay active, reduce pain, or recover from physical strain.

A sports massage begins with a consultation to review your medical history, activity, concerns, and injuries. You may need to undress to a comfortable level, shorts and a t-shirt are recommended. Your therapist uses techniques like effleurage for blood flow, deeper kneading and myofascial release to ease muscle knots, and passive stretching to improve flexibility.

Communication is key, your therapist will check pressure regularly. Some “good pain” is normal but should never be unbearable. Afterward, mild soreness for 1–2 days is normal and part of healing. You’ll also receive aftercare advice and stretches to support recovery.
