Sports massage in Cape Town

Targeted bodywork for people who train, race and stay active. We work with what your body brings on the day, so you can recover well and get on top of niggles before they hold you back.

No routine, just what your body needs

A sports massage with us starts with a conversation: what you’re training for, what feels tight and what keeps niggling. Then your therapist works with what they find, guided by anatomy knowledge and intuition rather than a set routine.

Expect focused, firm work on the muscles you load most, with trigger point work where it helps and lighter work where it doesn’t. Add assisted stretching to finish, and your therapist moves you through stretches to restore range.

During a training block, or before and after an event, you can book a purely targeted session. Prefer a little relaxation in the mix? Tell us when you book.

Questions

Good to know

Sports or deep tissue massage: which should I book?
They overlap a lot: both are firm and targeted. Choose sports massage if you’re training or recovering from an event, and deep tissue for long-held tension, for example from desk work. Both are booked as “Deep tissue / sports”, and your therapist adjusts on the day.
Should I book before or after an event?
Both work. A few days before, a lighter session keeps you loose without leaving you tender. After the event, give your body a day or two before recovery work. Tell us your race date when you book.
Can I add stretching?
Yes. Assisted stretching adds 15 minutes for R 250. Your therapist moves you through stretches to restore range.
How often should I come?
During a training block, regular sessions work best, because your therapist gets to know how your body responds from one session to the next. Our off-season 4 and 8 session packages, available to buy until 30 November, cost less than booking sessions one by one.
