Purpose-built for athletes and active people — speed up muscle recovery, prevent injury, and optimise your physical performance — from $88.
Book via WhatsAppSports massage is a targeted therapy combining deep tissue techniques, stretching, and trigger point work to meet the specific demands placed on an athlete's body. Whether you are a marathon runner, gym-goer, office worker with an active lifestyle, or weekend warrior, sports massage helps your body perform and recover better.
At Nelly Wellness, sports massage sessions are structured around your training schedule and goals. Pre-event sessions focus on warming muscles up and maximising performance. Post-event sessions prioritise flushing lactic acid, reducing soreness, and accelerating recovery.
Accelerates the removal of metabolic waste from muscles, reducing soreness after training.
Identifies and addresses muscle imbalances and overuse patterns before they become injuries.
Improves flexibility, range of motion, and muscle function for better athletic output.
Targets localised muscle knots that restrict movement and cause referred pain.
Stretching integrated into the massage increases joint range of motion and muscle elasticity.
Reduces pre-competition anxiety and post-training mental fatigue.
Your session begins with a discussion of your sport, training load, upcoming events, and any areas of soreness or concern. This shapes the focus of the massage — whether that is a full-body recovery session or concentrated work on problem areas.
Sports massage uses a combination of deep strokes, compression, cross-fibre friction, and passive stretching. It is generally firmer than relaxation massage. Nelly will work methodically through the muscle groups most stressed by your activity.
For best results, schedule a sports massage 1–2 days before an event (to prime the body) or within 24–48 hours after (for recovery). For ongoing training, a weekly or fortnightly session keeps the body performing at its peak.
🪨 Hot stone massage is complimentary with any session above.
Book via WhatsAppNot at all. Sports massage benefits anyone with an active lifestyle — including regular gym-goers, cyclists, dancers, and people with physically demanding jobs. If your body is under regular physical stress, sports massage will help.
For performance: 1–2 days before an event. For recovery: within 24–48 hours after intense training. For maintenance: weekly or fortnightly throughout your training cycle.
Sports massage is tailored to the needs of an active body — incorporating stretching, range-of-motion work, and event-specific preparation. Deep tissue massage focuses more broadly on releasing chronic tension and pain, not necessarily tied to athletic activity.
Massage can support certain injuries during recovery, but should be avoided in the acute phase (first 72 hours after injury). Please consult your physiotherapist first, then let Nelly know about your injury when booking.
