Sports Massage in Scarborough

Sports massage in Scarborough at Aara supports training, recovery and injury management, delivered by a CMTO-registered massage therapist on Markham Road.

Who sports massage is for

You do not need to be an elite athlete. Sports massage suits runners, gym-goers, cyclists, recreational players and anyone who trains regularly.

• Tight, overworked muscles after hard training
• Recovery between events or heavy blocks of training
• Recurring tightness in calves, hips, hamstrings or shoulders
• Help staying comfortable while you build back after a niggle

What to expect

Your therapist starts with a short conversation about your sport, schedule and any aches, then assesses how you move. Treatment may combine firm pressure, stretching, trigger point work and myofascial techniques, matched to where you are in your training cycle. You can ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any time. Mild soreness for a day is common.

Before or after your event

Many athletes prefer lighter work close to an event and deeper recovery work a few days afterward. Tell us your calendar when you book and we will help you plan sessions around it.

Insurance and cost
