Deep Tissue Massage vs Sports Massage: Which Treatment Works Best for You?
Confused between deep tissue and sports massage? This guide breaks down the key differences.
Deep tissue uses slow, sustained pressure to release chronic tension and break down adhesions in deeper muscle layers. It's ideal for long-standing muscular problems affecting daily life.
Sports massage (not just for athletes) adapts dynamically to your needs, optimising movement and flexibility through varied techniques. Perfect for active lifestyles, injury prevention, or recovery support.
Learn which treatment suits your body's needs and when to choose each approach.
