FAQs

Sports Massage Questions

How often should I have a sports massage?

It depends on your training load and goals. Some people book before or after events, while others have regular maintenance sessions every few weeks. We'll suggest a sensible rhythm for you.

Should I have a massage before or after an event?

Both can be useful. A lighter pre-event session can help you feel ready, while a post-event treatment is commonly used to support recovery. Avoid a brand-new deep session right before competing.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing. Depending on the areas being treated, you may be asked to remove outer layers — you'll always be kept comfortable and covered with towels.

How much does it cost?

Sports massage in Newcastle generally costs around £30–£70 depending on length. Enquire for our current pricing.
