Trigger point therapy: Targeted pressure to release muscle knots

Local FAQs for Cardiff

What is the difference between sports massage and physiotherapy?

Sports massage focuses on soft tissue treatment — muscles, fascia, and connective tissue. Physiotherapy encompasses assessment, diagnosis, and a broader range of treatments including exercise prescription, joint mobilisation, and rehabilitation. Our physiotherapist offers both, so can integrate the two when needed.

How long is a sports massage session in Cardiff?

Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes depending on the area being treated and your needs. We'll confirm the duration and pricing during your enquiry.

Do I need a sports injury to have a sports massage?

No. Sports massage is suitable for anyone with muscle tension, restricted movement, or stress-related tightness — you don't need to be an athlete or have an injury.

Is there a travel fee for Cardiff?
