Sports massage in Leyton
Firm, focused work on the muscles you use most, for runners, gym-goers, players and anyone whose body works hard. Artisa Spa was founded by Artisa, a former professional track athlete and Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist, so sports massage is where we started.

Who it’s for
- People who train: running, the gym, football, cycling, dance, martial arts, or any regular sport.
- People whose work is physical, or who spend long days on their feet.
- Anyone who likes firmer pressure on particular muscle groups rather than a general relaxing massage.
What happens in your session
1. A short consultation
Tell your therapist what you do, how often you train, what’s coming up and which muscles feel tightest.
2. Focused work
Your therapist concentrates on those areas, with medium to firm pressure. Firm shouldn’t mean painful: say if the pressure needs changing.
3. Your time, your focus
A 30-minute session suits one or two areas, such as calves and hamstrings or the back and shoulders. 60 or 90 minutes allows work across several muscle groups.
Arrive 10 minutes early so the consultation doesn’t come out of your treatment time.
Fitting it around training
Book whenever suits your week. If you have an event or a hard session coming up, tell us when you book and your therapist will plan the pressure around it. We’re open until 10pm Monday to Saturday and until 8pm on Sunday, so an evening session after work or training is easy to fit in.
If you have a new, painful or unexplained injury, please see your GP or a physiotherapist first. Tell us about any injury, past or present, when you book.
Sports or deep tissue?
They overlap and use many of the same techniques. Sports massage is built around the muscles you train and how you use them; deep tissue is a broader choice for anyone with persistent tension. Both are the same price. Deep tissue massage · Deep tissue massage guide · How to choose a massage · Compare all massage treatments

Sports massage FAQs
Will sports massage hurt?
It should feel firm, and tight spots can feel intense, but it shouldn’t be sharply painful. Your therapist checks the pressure with you throughout.
Do you treat injuries?
Our sports massage isn’t a treatment for injuries. If you have a new or painful injury, see your GP or a physiotherapist first, and tell us about any injury when you book.
How long should I book?
30 minutes for one or two areas, 60 minutes for several, or 90 minutes for unhurried work across the whole body.
