Relieve Pain and Restore Movement with Sports Massage
Sports massage isn’t just for professionals — it’s for anyone experiencing muscle pain, stiffness, or movement restrictions. If you’ve been struggling with sore shoulders, tight hips, or recurring sports injuries, massage can make a real difference.
At our Edinburgh clinic, we use advanced massage techniques to:
Relieve pain and muscle tension caused by injury, training, or long hours at work
Improve flexibility and mobility, making everyday movement easier
Support recovery after injury or surgery, helping you get back to normal life faster
Reduce stress and fatigue, improving both physical and mental well-being
Prevent future injuries by addressing imbalances early
Many of our patients also use sports massage alongside chiropractic care for a complete, integrated recovery plan. Muscles play a vital role in both stabilising and moving the joints of the body. This is why muscle problems are nearly always involved with joint dysfunction. Restoring the proper function in these deeper muscles can help to alleviate pain and work with chiropractic care to assist in your recovery and improve your overall health.
