Massage
Built for athletes and anyone carrying deep muscle tension
Do your muscles feel loaded, your back stiff, your shoulders tight, or do the aches linger after training or a long day at work? Is muscle tension limiting your mobility or holding back your performance?
At Baan Pho Thai Massage we built a treatment for athletes and for anyone carrying muscle overload who needs deeper work. It combines our background in genuine traditional Thai massage with sports and deep-tissue technique, to release what has built up, improve mobility and speed up recovery.
It is a full-body massage, but we pay particular attention to the areas carrying the most load — neck, shoulders, back, lower back, glutes, hips and legs — adapting every session to the person on the table.
The treatment combines traditional Thai technique — pressure on specific points, work along the muscle lines and gentle adapted stretches — with deep-tissue and sports massage, reaching the deeper layers to help reduce knots, improve muscle elasticity and make recovery more efficient.
The session takes place on a comfortable massage table using high-quality jojoba oil, particularly good for hydrating the skin and suitable even for dry or sensitive skin. You can also choose from our selection of essential oils to round off the experience.
As part of our welcome ritual, before we begin you will enjoy a warm foot bath that prepares the body for the treatment.
Our therapists, professionally trained in Thailand, assess the state of your muscles before the session and adapt pressure, technique and treatment to where the tension sits, to your activity and to what you need.
More than a massage, it is a treatment built to release deep muscle tension, improve mobility, help recovery and leave you lighter and freer day to day or after training.
Ideal for
people who:
Train in any discipline.
Get persistent knots or muscle tension.
Train often or do physically demanding work.
Feel stiffness in neck, shoulders, back, lower back or legs.
Want better mobility, less ache and a faster recovery.
Why your body will
thank you
The work reaches the layers a relaxing massage never gets to: knots, stiffness and accumulated overload. You feel it in the next session.
Releases deep tension
Working the deeper layers of muscle helps undo the knots that lighter pressure never reaches.
Gives mobility back
Adapted stretches and work along the muscle lines restore elasticity and range of movement.
Speeds up recovery
After training or racing, deep release shortens the time until you are performing again.
Adapts to your sport
The therapist reads the state of your muscles before starting and adjusts pressure and technique to your discipline and your load.
Everything you need
to know before coming
Who is the Deep Tissue Sports Massage for?
It suits athletes, physically active people and anyone carrying deep muscle tension, knots or stiffness from training, work or everyday stress. It is also a good option for anyone wanting better mobility and faster muscle recovery.
How is it different from a standard sports massage?
It combines sports massage with genuine traditional Thai technique. Alongside the deep muscle work it uses pressure on specific points, work along the muscle lines and adapted stretches, to release tension, improve mobility and make recovery more complete.
Which muscles does the session work on?
It is a full-body massage that can concentrate on the areas holding most tension: neck, traps, shoulders, lats, spinal erectors, lower back, glutes, hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and soleus. Every treatment adapts fully to the person and what their muscles need.
How does it differ from the Cyclist Recovery Massage?
Both bring in sports massage and traditional Thai technique, but their aims differ. The Cyclist Recovery Massage is built specifically around cycling, with particular attention to legs, hips and lower back. The Deep Tissue Sports Massage works for any discipline, or for anyone with general muscle tension: the goal is the deeper muscle layers, releasing knots and improving whole-body mobility.
How do I know if this is the right massage for me?
If your muscles feel heavily loaded, you get knots often, you feel stiff, you ache after training, or you simply want deeper pressure to release tension, this is a good choice. If you are unsure, our team will gladly talk it through and suggest the right treatment for you.
