- Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
- Improve flexibility and range of motion

Unlike relaxation massage, sports massage is tailored to your body, your sport, and your goals.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can’t thank Active Health Clinic enough for the help I’ve received. I went in with severe sciatica and the improvement after treatment, especially the dry needling, has been amazing. The relief has made a real difference to my day to day life.
A special thank you to Andrea for making me feel comfortable and at ease when I was nervous about the treatment. She took the time to explain everything and her calm, professional approach made the whole experience far easier than I expected.
I’m extremely grateful to the team and would highly recommend Active Health Clinic Glasgow to anyone dealing with pain or mobility issues.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Limped in to the clinic in September to see if they could help me.
I had chronic back pain and would have been happy with any level of improvement.
After my assessment and a massage and acupuncture session Rebecca gave me a series of exercises to strengthen the core muscles supporting my lower back.
I decided to go for it and although it was difficult to start with, once I had gone through the initial pain barriers and a few more clinic visits I started to gradually feel the benefits.
December now and I’m almost pain free and signed up for the gym – not bad for a 74 year old!
Thank you Rebecca, gave me my freedom back.
