Deep Tissue & Sports Massage Services in Aberdeen
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.
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.
Sometimes, all we need is a good massage, right? At our Aberdeen physiotherapy clinic we have you covered! We offer a highly-skilled and effective service of deep tissue and sports massage in Aberdeen. Whether you are a weekend warrior, seasoned athlete, or needing to destress after a hard day, then massage is what you’ll be looking for.

Sports Massage

Deep Tissue Massage
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.

What Does Sports Massage Involve?
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.
