Sports massage is a therapeutic technique designed to help athletes prevent and recover from injuries, improve flexibility, and boost performance. It uses deep tissue work, stretching, and compression to target tight muscles, alleviate pain, and promote faster recovery. This type of massage also aids in injury rehabilitation and enhances overall muscle function for better athletic performance. This style of massage is obviously not limited to sports people. Anyone who performs manual work, sits at a computer all day or enjoys gardening at the weekend knows the feeling of pushing their bodies a little too far.

Myofascial cupping is a gentle therapy where soft cups are placed on the skin to create light suction. Instead of pressing into muscles like massage, it lifts the tissue, helping to release tightness and improve movement. 

It works on the fascia, a layer that surrounds muscles, which can become stiff and cause discomfort.

Benefits include reduced muscle tension, improved flexibility, better circulation, pain relief, and faster recovery from exercise or injury.
