The 10 best sports massage therapists in Glasgow

Aga & Ola Physio & Massage Glasgow provides physiotherapy, pain management and massage for people dealing with knee, neck, shoulder and lower-back concerns. The clinic also offers movement therapy, orthotics and pelvic-floor physiotherapy.

Sessions can begin with a consultation to identify suitable treatment, followed by a plan adjusted around progress and availability. Massage options include deep tissue, pregnancy and sports massage. Physiotherapy and pain management sessions are available without a doctor’s referral, and appointments can last 30, 45 or 60 minutes. The clinic also provides manual lymphatic drainage and scar therapy.

Sports, recovery and relaxation massage are tailored around the body’s current needs at Pause Wellness Massage Studio. Sessions can address areas including the legs, hips and lower back, with stretching, hot stones and softer relaxation work available within the massage approach.

The studio is designed as a calm therapy space rather than a busy spa or clinical treatment room. Alex also takes a health background and existing conditions into account when planning a session, making the service relevant to people managing tension, training recovery or ongoing discomfort.

Deep tissue, sports, Swedish, hot stone and pregnancy massage are available at Deserved Massage in Finnieston. The practice also lists Indian head, aromatherapy, lymphatic drainage and reflexology treatments, with sessions from 30 to 90 minutes. Sports massage follows how you actually train, focusing on areas such as legs, hips and shoulders after running, gym work or other training.

Deep tissue sessions use slow, sustained pressure for persistent knots and tension, while Swedish massage uses longer strokes and moderate pressure. Pregnancy massage uses adapted side-lying positioning and supportive techniques. Clients choose the areas to prioritise during the consultation, and heavy exercise is discouraged on the evening after treatment.

Alpha & Omega Massage provides remedial and sports massage for active people, including lifters, runners and adults managing persistent muscle aches or pain. Sessions begin with an assessment and focus on reducing pain, improving movement and supporting recovery from training, injury or postural issues.

Treatment can be tailored to the person and may include sports or Swedish massage, trigger-point work, stretching, cupping and other techniques. Bespoke full-body massage is also available for relaxation, muscle relief or a specific problem area. Every session is focused on reducing pain and restoring movement, with 60- and 90-minute remedial and sports appointments offered in Hillington.

Sports, remedial and deep tissue massage are available at Mark The Masseur, with sessions tailored to physical demands, pain and movement goals. Sports massage supports active people managing training or recovery, while targeted treatment covers back, neck, shoulder and arm pain.

Mark uses consultation and assessment to decide how a session should be approached, combining sports and deep tissue methods where appropriate. Myofascial release is available for restricted fascia and reduced range of motion. Sessions last from 40 minutes to 90 minutes for several services, while relaxing massage can run up to two hours. Prices start at £45.

The Recovery Corner provides sports massage and manual lymphatic drainage for athletes, active people, desk workers and anyone experiencing muscle tightness or physical strain. Sessions can focus on the neck, shoulders, back or legs, shaped around lifestyle, training and the client’s stated needs.

Treatment options include deep tissue and trigger-point therapy, while lymphatic drainage uses gentle rhythmic strokes. The service is relevant before an event, after demanding training or during everyday recovery. Amanda also works as a personal trainer, bringing experience of circuit training and gym fitness to sessions for people seeking improved movement, flexibility or recovery from physical activity.

Sports and remedial massage at KG Massage Therapy Glasgow focuses on pain management and functional rehabilitation. Kathleen McDougall offers treatments using techniques including myofascial release, clinical dry needling, cupping therapy, IASTM and hot and cold stone therapy. New and returning clients can book appointments online.

The standard treatment is 70 minutes, allowing time to focus on the areas and issues discussed during the consultation. Longer appointments are available for 90 or 120 minutes. KG Massage Therapy is based at Clinic 21 in Glasgow’s Southside, and clients can note fragrance sensitivity or vegan requirements when booking so the room and oils can be adjusted.
