Deep-Tissue Sports
Massage in Rome

Deep, targeted hand techniques to release muscle knots and tension, at your home in Rome.

Releasing
tension

For people who play sport and people who spend their days at a desk.

Deep-tissue sports massage frees the muscles from tension, knots and the waste products that build up after intense effort. With separating, lifting strokes I also work on the fascia, the membrane that wraps around the muscles and connects them to each other, and which is responsible for posture.

It is a massage that requires precise knowledge of the musculoskeletal system: firm pressure, but always measured to suit you. I bring it to your home in Rome, before or after training, or when your body is asking to loosen up.

The muscle knot

When the muscle won’t relax

A muscle knot is an involuntary, painful contraction: the muscle becomes rigid and you can feel it to the touch. It most often affects the back and lower back, but also the legs, glutes, arms and neck. It is not an injury and it can be released.

  • Sport

    Exertion and training

    Excessive strain, sudden movements, too short a warm-up or effort without the right preparation.

  • Every day

    Posture and habits

    Hours sitting at a desk, poor posture, unusual exertion: muscle knots are not just for sportspeople.

Who it’s for

When the body asks for relief

For sportspeople, who use it regularly, and for anyone who needs to release tension and stiffness.

  1. Before a competition

    To prepare the muscles and face the performance with your body ready.

  2. After training

    As a cool-down treatment, when fatigue builds up.

  3. Muscle knots and stiffness

    The back, the lower back, the neck, a crick in the neck: tension that doesn’t go away on its own.

  4. Stress and tension

    Even without sport: massage eases the knots and encourages relaxation.

Deep-tissue massage does not replace a doctor or physiotherapist: in the case of injury, acute pain or inflammation, ask for medical advice first.

What happens

How the massage works

Each session starts from where you feel the tension: the pressure builds gradually, following the response of your muscles.

  1. The conversation

    You tell me where you feel pain or stiffness, what activity you do and what your days are like.

  2. In your home

    I come to your home in Rome, including before or after training, with everything needed.

  3. The massage

    Friction, kneading, pressure and separating strokes, with oils based on arnica and devil’s claw.

  4. Advice

    At the end I leave you a few pointers to maintain the benefits and prevent new knots.

Both: before, it prepares the muscles for performance; after, it helps recovery and relieves fatigue.
