Deep Tissue & Sports Massage in Glasgow’s West End (Finnieston)

Physio-Led Massage for Recovery, Performance & Injury Prevention

At our Finnieston clinic (formerly K.M. Woods Physiotherapy), we offer expert deep tissue and sports massage delivered by physiotherapists who specialise in treating overloaded, tight or fatigued muscles. This service is ideal for anyone who trains regularly, has a physically demanding job, or experiences tension from long hours sitting or standing.

Who Sports Massage Helps

Sports massage is beneficial for a wide range of people, including:

  • Runners, cyclists, gym-goers and strength athletes

  • Football, rugby, dance and rowing athletes

  • Builders, tradespeople and manual workers

  • Office workers and drivers with postural tightness

  • Anyone preparing for or recovering from a big training block or event

Why Choose a Physio-Led Sports Massage?

Our approach goes beyond relaxation. Being physio-delivered, each session uses clinical reasoning and hands-on expertise to:

  • Reduce muscle tension, stiffness and adhesions

  • Improve circulation and assist removal of metabolic waste

  • Support recovery from high training loads

  • Enhance flexibility, mobility and movement quality

  • Reduce the risk of overuse injuries

  • Improve comfort and performance before race day or heavy training cycles

Preventative or performance-focused — both matter

Some patients use sports massage regularly to stay ahead of tightness, while others book sessions when symptoms appear or performance starts to decline. Both are valid approaches, and our clinicians will help you identify the best frequency based on your activity levels, goals and training demands.

Why athletes trust us before big events

Many runners and endurance athletes book a pre-race sports massage in the days leading up to an event. This helps counteract accumulated training fatigue, ease tight tissues and ensure the body feels loose, mobile and ready to perform at its best.

Part of the Carter & George approach

As we transition from K.M. Woods Physiotherapy to Carter & George, our sports massage service now sits within a wider performance-focused, data-driven physiotherapy offering — supporting our goal of becoming Glasgow’s number one physiotherapy clinic.
