Is sports massage or deep tissue right for me? Sports massage targets specific muscles to aid training, recovery and injury prevention, while deep tissue works slowly through deeper layers to release chronic tension. If you’re active or recovering from injury, choose sports massage; for long-standing tightness or stress relief, deep tissue. Our therapists in Maidenhead help you pick at your first visit.
What is massage therapy?
Massage therapy uses hands-on pressure and movement on muscles and other soft tissues. People often book a massage to relax, ease everyday tension and take some time out.
Every session starts with a conversation. Your therapist will ask what you want from the appointment, then adjust the pressure and approach to suit you.
Types of massage we offer
Sports massage
Sports massage focuses on the muscles you use most during training and everyday activity. It can target a particular area, and the pressure will vary depending on what you need.
You don’t need to be a professional athlete. Our clients include runners, cyclists, golfers at Castle Royle and people who play weekend five-a-side.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm pressure on the deeper layers of muscle. People often choose it when they prefer focused pressure on areas that feel tight, particularly around the neck, shoulders or lower back.
It can feel intense. But it shouldn’t feel unbearable. Your therapist will check the pressure throughout and keep it within your comfort level.
Relaxation massage
Relaxation massage is gentler and more rhythmic. There’s less focus on one particular area and more time to switch off. Ideal when life is loud.
Not sure which massage to book? Choose either sports massage or deep tissue massage. Your therapist can talk through the options and adjust the session on the day.
Who books massage therapy?
People book massage for all sorts of reasons. Tight shoulders after a week at a desk. Tired legs after training. General stiffness. Stress that’s difficult to switch off from.
Massage can also sit alongside chiropractic care. Many of our patients combine chiropractic care in Maidenhead with regular massage as part of their usual routine.
What to expect at your first massage
Your first visit lasts around 60 minutes.
Your therapist will take a full case history, ask what you want from the session and carry out a short movement assessment. Bring shorts and a vest top so they can see how you move.
The massage will then be tailored to you. You’ll leave with straightforward advice about what you can do between appointments, with no pressure to book a block of sessions.
