What is sports massage in Kings Cross
Sports massage is a specialised form of soft tissue therapy that targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia; our sports massage in Kings Cross is designed to address both acute injuries and long-term muscular issues caused by sport, training, or desk-based lifestyles, and it can help relieve symptoms such as back pain and lower back stiffness, neck and shoulder tension, gym and running injuries, postural strain from office work, and aid in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
We use evidence based soft tissue therapy techniques to restore movement quality and reduce pain. Each session begins with a professional assessment to identify restricted tissues and contributing movement patterns. Techniques used during sports massage treatment may include:
How sports massage work ❊
Deep tissue targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is used to reduce chronic tension, address muscular imbalances, and improve tissue resilience. This technique is particularly effective for long standing tightness in the back, hips, shoulders, and legs.
Deep tissue massage
Focusing on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints. Restrictions within the fascial system can limit movement and cause persistent discomfort. This technique helps restore glide between tissue layers and improve overall mobility.
Myofascial release
Trigger point therapy applies sustained pressure to specific hypertonic points within muscle tissue. These trigger points often refer pain to other areas of the body. Releasing them helps reduce pain, restore normal muscle activation, and improve movement efficiency.
Trigger point
Assisted stretching is used to increase joint range of motion and improve muscle flexibility under controlled conditions. The therapist guides your body through specific stretches to safely lengthen tight tissues and reinforce better movement patterns.

FAQs
What is the difference between soft tissue therapy and a regular sports massage?
Soft tissue therapy includes assessment treatment and specific rehab exercises in one process. Instead of only working on tight muscles we identify why those tissues are overloaded in the first place and give you a plan to change it. Sports massage techniques are used inside this structured approach rather than as a stand alone fix.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move such as shorts, leggings and a t-shirt or vest. If we are assessing your squat running or gym technique please bring your usual training kit.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people feel a noticeable change after their Blueprint Assessment. For longer term issues or performance goals we often recommend a short block of three to six sessions then review. Your therapist will always explain what they recommend and why.
Can I train on the same day as my session?
Before- Yes. Especially for light to moderate training. After your session you will get clear guidance on what is appropriate that day and how to adjust your training over the next forty eight hours.
