Sports Massage
Deep Care for Active Bodies
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is targeted deep-tissue work designed around the needs of people who train regularly or live actively. The aim is not just relaxation: it supports post-training recovery, releases stiffness along the muscle chains and helps protect range of motion.
At Relax Spa VIP the session is planned around your sport and the week's training load: for runners the posterior leg chain comes first, for gym athletes the shoulder-chest line, for footballers the hips and calves. Deep-tissue techniques are combined with stretching and friction work.
The 60-minute session runs in two modes: pre-training preparation (lighter tempo) or post-training recovery (deeper work). You and your therapist choose the right mode together — just describe your programme.
Benefits of Sports Massage
Regular sessions can have many positive effects on your body and mind.
Supports Recovery
Helps the muscles shed the fatigue that builds up after training.
Protects Range of Motion
Muscle chains prone to shortening are lengthened with stretches, supporting joint mobility.
Load Awareness
Overworked areas show up early on the table — useful feedback for training smart.
Local Circulation
Deep-tissue work supports blood flow in the target muscles, helping them stay nourished.
Ready to Perform
A lighter pre-event session warms the muscles and primes them for movement.
Better Rest
A released body supports the recovery-critical quality of sleep athletes depend on.
Techniques We Use
Deep-Tissue Passes
Slow, deep strokes run parallel to the muscle fibres using forearm and elbow.
Friction
Cross-fibre friction frees tissue where adhesions are felt.
Athletic Stretching
The worked muscle group is lengthened with active-passive stretches to lock in the effect.
Compression Pumping
Rhythmic press-and-release with the palm brings relief to heavily worked muscles.
Trigger Point Work
Gradual pressure is held on hardened, referring points until they let go.

Good to Know
Answers to what guests ask most about this service.
Both work, with different goals: a lighter pre-training session warms the muscles up, while a post-training session supports recovery with deeper work. Describe your programme and we'll pick the right mode together.
Deep-tissue work creates a firm, noticeable pressure, but it should stay within the "good hurt" zone — sharp pain is never the goal. The depth is adjusted with you at every stage.
Yes — sports massage isn't only for athletes; it suits anyone whose muscle chains have tightened up. People in physical jobs or on their feet all day benefit clearly from this deeper work.
