Sports massage in Gravesend, for pain that keeps coming back.

An hour of targeted hands-on work that eases tight muscle, settles pain and gets you moving freely again. Most people notice a difference the same day.

You do not need to play a sport to book one. Most people who come in are carrying a stiff neck from a desk job or a shoulder that has been tight for so long it started to feel normal. Sixty minutes with Metin, £60.

If it hurts, or it simply will not loosen off.

Sports massage suits anyone whose muscles are working harder than they should be.

That covers runners and gym-goers with training niggles that never fully settle. It equally covers people who sit at a desk all day and reach Friday with a locked-up neck, because the muscle does not know where the strain came from.

It is likely the right session if tightness comes back within days of stretching it out, if the same ache follows the same pattern every week, if a joint has quietly lost some of its range, or if you have been working around a niggle for months without doing anything about it.

One hour, and you will know what is going on.

Here is exactly how the appointment runs, so none of it comes as a surprise.

  1. We talk before anything else

    You explain what hurts, when it started and what makes it worse. Metin asks about your training, your job and how you are sleeping, because all of it tends to show up in the same shoulder.

  2. Focused hands-on work

    Firm, targeted pressure on the areas that need it, checked with you as he goes. You stay comfortable and covered throughout, and asking him to ease off is expected rather than awkward.

  3. Aftercare you will actually use

    Stretches and movement advice chosen for your situation, plus an honest view on whether you need to come back and how soon. Quite often the answer is that you do not.

The questions people ask before booking.

If yours is not answered here, send a message and Metin will come back to you himself.

Will it hurt?

Parts of it will be uncomfortable, particularly on an area that has been tight for months. It should never be more than you can breathe through, and the pressure is adjusted as the session goes on. Telling Metin to ease off is expected.

Do I need to play a sport?

No. Most people who come in are carrying a stiff neck from a desk job or a shoulder that has been tight for so long it started to feel normal. Sports massage suits anyone whose muscles are working harder than they should be.

What should I wear?

Something comfortable. You stay covered throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered.

How will I feel afterwards?

Most people notice a difference the same day. You leave with stretches and movement advice chosen for your situation, so the benefit lasts beyond the hour.

How often should I come back?

It depends on what is going on. Metin will give you an honest view on whether you need to come back and how soon, and quite often the answer is that you do not.

  • Been seeing Metin now for a few years with various issues. Sciatica and groin issues mainly. Regardless to the issue, Metin always knows exactly what to do and finds what’s causing the issue (usually an area away from where I thought) and goes to work on it. Such a relief when I leave and have more flexibility. I’m always given recommendations on exercises that will help my issues which Iv taken on board and slowly getting to a point I can see light at the end of the tunnel If you can handle the pain I recommend the muscle scraping, it really helped me at one stage but wouldn’t do it too often

    It's been great to see you over the years, Ben; and thanks for having me back. I'm pleased that the treatments and exercises have helped with your mobility and being able to move pain free. Muscle scraping.... where do I start. This isn't for everyone but is so effective and helps to speed things up allowing you to move better. So well done for getting through it, you're reaping the rewards of it now.

  • Walked in all stiff walked out like I can dance on the roof tops has definitely helped with my back problems

    I'm pleased you had a good result there Neil and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Hopefully I won't be seeing you too soon.

  • Metin has been looking after my body for several years now and it’s always great to see him. He helps my aches and pains go away in just a session or two and educates me with stretches and exercise to prevent me coming back too soon! Today was a little different where Metin was able to sort my back out half way through the session so he introduced me to some Reiki healing, which I’ve never experienced before. It was powerful and would love to try it again soon. Thank you Metin!

  • I cannot praise Metin enough, he is amazing, makes you feel at ease, I have seen Metin 3 times over the last 4 years and each time my problem has been sorted, At the beginning of my massage I could barely move my leg and hip, but by the end of it I was moving more freely and no pain ..he doesnt say you need to go back to him unless you feel you want too ...he is honest ...dont think twice book him..you will not be disappointed ..thank you Metin
