Sports Massage

Ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike, our tailored approach focuses on recovery, maintenance, and injury prevention, ensuring that you can perform at your best, day in and day out.

Sports and remedial massage for active people

Sports massage combines remedial techniques with treatment designed around training and competition. We use it to prepare muscles before an event, help them recover afterwards, and treat the tightness and niggles that come with regular training.

When should I book a sports massage?

• Before an event: to loosen tight muscles and help you feel ready
• After an event or a hard training block: to ease soreness and support recovery
• During regular training: to manage tightness before it turns into an injury

Sports massage for runners, triathletes and gym-goers

We work with runners preparing for events like City2Surf and the Sydney Marathon, as well as triathletes, cyclists and anyone training hard in the gym. Your therapist focuses on the areas your sport loads the most.

What’s the difference between sports massage and remedial massage?

Remedial massage treats pain and injury in anyone. Sports massage applies the same skills to the demands of training and performance. Many of our clients use both. Read more in our guide to remedial massage vs sports massage.

Sports massage FAQs

How much does a sports massage cost in Sydney CBD?
A 30-minute sports massage starts at $80 and a 60-minute session costs $140 with one of our therapists. Senior therapist sessions start at $100 for 30 minutes and $160 for 60 minutes. Longer 75, 90 and 120-minute sessions are also available.

Can I claim a sports massage on my private health fund?
Yes, where your extras cover includes remedial massage. We accept private health fund cards on the spot through HICAPS, so you only pay the gap.

How long should a sports massage be?
Most people book 60 minutes. That gives your therapist time to work through your legs, hips and back properly. A 30-minute session suits a single tight area, while 90 minutes works well during heavy training blocks or after a big event.

Should I get a sports massage before or after a race?
Both work, with different timing. Book a lighter session two to three days before your event to loosen up without leaving you sore. After the race, give your body 24 to 48 hours, then book a recovery massage to ease soreness and get back to training sooner.
