Massage | Kent Sports Clinic
Student-led Massage
Whether you need injury rehabilitation, muscle recovery, or relaxation, sports massage therapy is suitable for everyone, not just athletes. Muscle pain and tension can be caused by stress, long working hours, poor posture, or regular sport and exercise.
Our student-led team of therapists provide soft and deep tissue massage to relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, improve circulation, support injury prevention, and enhance sports performance. Sports massage can also help speed up recovery, improve flexibility, and promote overall wellbeing.
Student-led massage
Student-led massage appointments with the Kent Sports Clinic team in the Chipperfield building support the development of our final-year Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences students.
Student-led appointments are offered at a concession rate starting at just £10 for University of Kent students for a 60-minute appointment.
