FAQs

How should I prepare for my mobile sports massage?

We always advise having a hot shower or bath before your mobile sports massage. This can help you to relax your muscles before treatment begins and may also help improve muscle recovery after the massage.

We want your experience to be as relaxing as possible. Therefore, we would recommend that our mobile sports massage therapist sets up in a room that is private and warm. It’s important to make sure that you have space for the massage bed, which is 6ft long and 2ft wide.

Your therapist will bring everything else for your home sports massage treatment, including a massage table, towels, relaxing music (if desired) and a selection of essential oils. Please note, that under current COVID-19 protocols we are asking customers to provide their own towels.

What should I wear to my sports massage?

Our sports massage techniques include the use of oils, so we recommend that you undress to your underwear for the treatment – or to a level you’re comfortable with. We recommend wearing a dressing gown so you can start your treatment sooner.

On arrival, your home sports massage therapist will prepare the bed, music and oils and then they will step outside so you can get undressed in privacy. At the end of the treatment, your therapist will leave the room to allow you to get up at your own pace and get dressed.

Please note, it is required that underwear is worn throughout your sports massage treatment.

What are the benefits of a sports massage?

A sports massage has many benefits as each massage is tailored to the needs of the individual. General benefits include: pain relief, increased flexibility, reduced tension, cramps and risk of injury, and improved sleep. Learn more here.

How often should I have a sports massage?

It depends on the individual and the sport, but here are some recommendations for how often you should have a sports massage:

  • Before important events
  • After the majority of events that you do
  • Regular sports massages throughout your training periods

Do you take specific requests for disabilities or injuries?

If you have any specific requests regarding your mobile sports massage, please contact us on 0207 096 0506 or bookings@secretspa.co.uk prior to booking. Your mobile sports massage therapist will carry out a consultation prior to the treatment in order to tailor your treatment to your specific needs.

You should always ensure your sports massage therapist is aware of any injuries and allergies you have, as well as areas of your body you wish for them to give extra attention to. It’s important to discuss with your therapist the pressure you wish to be applied before and during the treatment.

We advise that you seek advice from a medical practitioner regarding whether sports massage therapy is appropriate for certain medical conditions.

Can I request a specific mobile sports massage therapist?

If you have had one of our masseuses before for a sports massage and would like to request the same person again, please just let us know.

If you are booking on the website, please make sure to mention the name of your favourite professional in the Special Instructions box at checkout.

We recommend using our app for bookings to make use of our Favourite Professional feature. This allows you to save and request your favourite therapists from previous treatments. Our app is available for iOS on the App Store.
