Recovery is part of training

Massage with Vicky is not just sports massage. It is therapeutic too, general tension, stress, bad sleep, a stiff neck from a desk, as well as sport and training recovery. If your body needs looking after, this is for you, whether or not you train with us.

A 2018 review found massage is the most effective way to ease post-exercise muscle soreness, cutting that day-after ache by around 30%. It also improves range of motion and flexibility. And there is a plainer benefit too: you feel better afterwards. Looser. Calmer. You sleep better.

Vicky has an advantage most massage therapists do not: she sees how your body actually moves during training. She knows which shoulder you favour in Pack, which side you land heavier on, where your form quietly changes when you get tired. That insight comes straight onto the table with her, so what she finds and treats is informed by how you really move, not just how you describe it.

We recommend a massage every 4–6 weeks. You service the car before it breaks down. Your body deserves the same.

This isn’t just for athletes. Gardening counts. A week at a desk counts. A day on the tools, a toddler on your hip. If your muscles work, they deserve maintenance. Regular Boosters, once-a-year gardeners, tradies, new mums: all welcome on the table.
