Sports and Recovery Massage
Sports & Recovery Massage isn’t just for elite athletes — it’s for anyone who uses their body with purpose. Whether you're lifting at the gym, running trails, training for a marathon, or simply working a physically demanding job, this treatment is designed to keep you moving well. It targets specific muscle groups stressed by your activity, helps reduce post-exercise fatigue, and supports better range of motion. We’ll use a combination of hands-on techniques like trigger point therapy, assisted stretching, and myofascial work to help your body recover smarter, not harder. It’s proactive, practical, and made for your goals.
Activity-Specific Assessment
We’ll talk through your training style or movement patterns — what you’ve been doing recently, what’s felt tight, and what upcoming demands your body is preparing for. This helps me tailor the treatment to the right muscle groups.
Understand your sport, job, or movement goals
Review areas of soreness, fatigue, or imbalance
Assess range of motion and flexibility where needed
Targeted Recovery Techniques
Using a mix of remedial massage, trigger point release, myofascial techniques and stretching, I’ll work to relieve soreness, boost blood flow, and improve tissue recovery. Each treatment is specific to what your body needs on that day.
Focus on muscle groups under regular strain
Apply deeper pressure where tension is stored
Incorporate movement-based techniques or stretches
Support soft tissue recovery between training sessions
Ongoing Recovery Advice
We'll finish with advice for your post-treatment care: hydration, rest, light movement or warm-ups to support recovery. If you’re training regularly, I can help you build massage into your routine to stay consistent and injury-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know before booking your massage — from health fund rebates to how to prepare for your session.
Do I need to know what kind of massage I want before I book?
Not at all. We'll talk through what's going on in your body and decide on the right approach together. You don't need to know the terms — just how you're feeling.
Can I claim through my private health insurance?
Yes. I’m a registered provider with most major health funds. You’ll receive an invoice after your session that you can submit to your fund for a rebate, depending on your level of cover.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Just wear comfortable clothes. You’ll be draped with towels during the massage and only the area being treated will be uncovered at any time.
I'm pregnant — is massage safe for me?
Absolutely. I offer safe, professional pregnancy massage with supportive positioning and techniques appropriate for each trimester.
Will it hurt?
Massage should never be painful. Some techniques may feel intense, but we’ll always work within your comfort zone. I’ll check in regularly and adjust as needed.
How long is a session?
Sessions typically run for 60 or 90 minutes, depending on what we’re working on. If you're unsure what to book, feel free to get in touch.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens! Just give as much notice as you can. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice so I can offer your spot to someone else.
Where is your clinic located?
I work from a private clinic in Ranelagh, Tasmania — just a few minutes from Huonville. The full address is provided when you book.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes, absolutely. Massage makes a thoughtful, practical gift. You can contact me directly to organise a digital or physical voucher.
Ready to feel better in your body?
Whether you’re here for pain relief, recovery, or a moment to reset — let’s book a session that works for you. Your body will thank you.
