Massage in Croydon: things to know before you go

Whether you’re looking for a 30-minute treatment on your way home from a busy day at work, or planning a special spa day with a loved one, we’re here to answer all your questions about massage in Croydon.

What’s the best massage for a sports injury?

If you love nothing more than to work out in the gym or you’ve strained yourself playing sports, a massage can really help to alleviate pain and restore movement and flexibility to your muscles.

One of the best options is a deep tissue massage, which can target areas such as the back or neck that might be causing you discomfort. You might also want to try a sports massage, with plenty of expert massage therapists in Croydon offering superb packages which are tailored to deal with specific areas of injury.

• Little Treats Holistic Therapies, within the Solutions Health and Fitness Club on Lansdowne Road, offers deep tissue massage and a range of other therapies designed to ease tension and relax the body and mind.
• Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic on Glossop Road also offers a range of massage treatments, including soft tissue massage and acupuncture to help your body recover from any injuries.

What massage should I book for tired legs and feet?

While a back massage is the most popular style of massage, many of us suffer with foot and leg pain that can be soothed by massage. Whether it’s caused by uncomfortable shoes, running around after the kids or just being on our feet all day at work, luckily there are some great massage treatments in Croydon that can help to soothe the pain.

One of the best options for tired feet is reflexology, which involves the application of pressure to specific areas that can help relieve stress and tension. You’ll find it on offer at the following venues:

• Croydon Osteopathic Practice on Heathfield Road offers a range of reflexology treatments, and also specialises in soothing creaking joints and muscle pains.
