Massage built around how you train
A sports massage is planned around your activity, not a generic routine. Whether you run, play football, lift, cycle or do circuit classes, the therapist asks what you do and when your next event or hard session is, then decides where to work and how firmly. Techniques include focused pressure on tight muscle groups, stretching, and gentle mobilisation to improve range of movement.
Timing matters. A short, brisk massage can help prepare you before an event. A deeper session suits the day after, when muscles are sore and you want to feel looser sooner.
What a session includes
You start by describing your training and any niggles. The work then targets the muscles you use most: quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes for runners and footballers; shoulders, chest, lats and forearms for gym-goers and swimmers. Assisted stretches finish the session, and you leave with simple aftercare advice you can use at home.
Good for
- Runners training for a race, including Accra marathon and 10k events
- Footballers and gym-goers with post-session stiffness
- People returning to training after time off
- Anyone with tight hamstrings, calves or hips

Questions
Will it suit me?
Runners, footballers, gym-goers.
When should I book a sports massage?
The day after a hard session or event works well for recovery. A lighter session can also be booked a day or two before.
Is sports massage painful?
It can feel firm in tight spots but should never be sharp. Tell your therapist if it becomes too much.
Do I need to be an athlete?
No. Anyone who exercises or has an active job can benefit.
Can sports massage treat injuries?
It is not a medical treatment. If you have an injury, get it assessed by a doctor first; we can then work around it.
Do I pay when I book?
No. You pay at reception after your treatment — cash or MoMo.
How early should I arrive?
Fifteen minutes before, so you can settle in with a cup of tea.
