What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a targeted, hands-on treatment designed to support muscle health, improve movement, and reduce pain. Delivered by our dual-qualified Biokineticist and Sports Massage Therapist, Robyn Donno, this treatment combines clinical knowledge of the body with advanced soft-tissue techniques to help you move and feel better.

While many people associate sports massage with athletes, it is highly effective for anyone experiencing muscular tension, postural strain, or physical stress from daily life.

What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage focuses on treating soft tissue — muscles, tendons, and connective tissue — to restore function and promote recovery.

Using a combination of deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, stretching, and mobilisation techniques, treatment can help:

  • Reduce muscle tightness and pain

  • Improve flexibility and joint mobility

  • Support injury recovery

  • Enhance circulation

  • Prevent future injuries

  • Speed up recovery after exercise

  • Relieve tension caused by desk work or poor posture

Whether you are training regularly, returning from injury, or simply feeling the effects of modern life on your body, sports massage can play a valuable role in keeping you active.

Who Is It For?

Sports massage is suitable for a wide range of people, including:

Active individuals and athletes
To support performance, recovery, and injury prevention.

Office workers
To relieve neck, shoulder, and lower back tension caused by prolonged sitting.

Those recovering from injury
Working alongside rehabilitation programmes to optimise healing.

Anyone experiencing muscular discomfort
You do not need to be “sporty” to benefit from treatment.

The Benefit of Clinical Expertise

Receiving treatment from a practitioner who is both a Biokineticist and Sports Massage Therapist means your care is guided by a deeper understanding of biomechanics, movement patterns, and rehabilitation.

Robyn doesn’t just treat where it hurts — she looks at why the problem developed in the first place. When appropriate, she can also provide corrective exercises to support longer-term results.

This integrated approach helps patients achieve more than short-term relief — it supports lasting physical health.

What To Expect At Your Appointment

Your session will begin with a brief assessment to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Treatment is then tailored specifically to you.

Pressure can be adjusted depending on your preference and clinical need, and your therapist will always work within your comfort levels.

After treatment, you may receive advice on stretching, recovery strategies, or exercises to maximise the benefits of your session.

Whether you are managing a persistent niggle, preparing for an event, or simply want your body to feel and function better, sports massage can help you stay at your best.
