Sports MaSSAGE

Sports massage is a form of massage which is used to address and alleviate discomfort due to issues such as with muscle tension or soreness, muscle overuse, stress, and anxiety. It involves a combination of techniques, including effleurage and petrissage to stimulate blood circulation, release muscle tension by targeting specific muscles and soft tissues, and promote flexibility.

Sports massage is by no means limited to sports persons. It is just as effective for anyone who is experiencing discomfort associated with occupational and everyday stresses, recovering from a past injury, or simply need a chance to get away for a relaxing massage. In this modern world, the constant use of mobile phones and laptops are leading more and more people to experience back and neck pain due to poor postural alignment.

Katie adapts her massage style and pressure for each of her clients and can offer a relaxing or deep tissue massage. The depth of pressure is always to your preference to ensure clients are happy and comfortable, whether that is using very light pressure, to deep pressure. 

Katie has worked with Hollington United Football Team last year providing pre, during & post match massage.  She also provided pre and post run Sports Massage to competitive runners in the Hastings Half Marathon March 2024 where she gave pre-run and post-run massages, prepping the runners muscles pre-run, and aiding in their rest and recovery post-run.

Katie uses Emmett Technique - muscle and soft tissue release therapy during her massage treatments to further alleviate muscle and soft tissue restriction/tightness.  This enables the relaxation of the muscles quickly & therefore releases tension quickly giving a better result for the client by using Emmett and Massage together in the session.

Katie uses grapeseed oil as her massage medium. If there are any allergies, please do let us know.
