Sports massage at home in Marrakech

500 MAD
60 min
Female therapists

An Atlas trek, a round of golf, a day walking the Medina or a workout: our sports massage at home in Marrakech helps your body recover. It is a recovery massage close to deep tissue: deeper pressure and invigorating strokes target tight areas (legs, back, shoulders) to loosen muscles and restore flexibility.

The treatment lasts one hour and takes place in your riad, villa or hotel room. No travelling after exercise: you stay put and relax.

How the treatment works

1
Talk about your needs
Your therapist asks what exercise you did, where you feel tension and what pressure suits you.
2
Preparing the muscles
Broad strokes prepare the muscles and warm up the areas to be worked.
3
Targeted work
Deeper pressure and kneading on the legs, back and shoulders, adjusted to how it feels for you.
4
Stretches and wind-down
A few stretches and slower strokes end the treatment. Drink plenty of water afterwards.

When to book a sports massage

Straight after intense exercise, muscles are often sensitive: allow a few hours, take a shower and rehydrate. Many people prefer the evening they get back or the next day, when the aches set in.

Before an activity, a lighter, more dynamic massage can help you feel ready: just tell your therapist.

Recovering after the Atlas and Toubkal

Marrakech is the gateway to many High Atlas treks, including the ascent of Toubkal (4,167 m), the highest peak in North Africa. The descents are especially hard on thighs and calves.

Book your massage for the evening you return to Marrakech or for the following day. Our guide massage after a Toubkal trek covers the essentials.

Firm pressure, never painful

A sports massage can be intense, but it should not hurt. Say so at any time if the pressure is too strong: your therapist adjusts straight away.

Looking for all-over relaxation instead? Choose the relaxing Berber massage, the hot stone massage or the Thai massage with hot towels. After a long hike, the traditional Moroccan hammam is another way to recover: scrub, rhassoul clay and an argan oil massage.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a sports massage at home in Marrakech?

The Sports Recovery Massage costs 500 MAD for 60 minutes, with free travel across the whole Marrakech area. See all our prices.

Does a sports massage hurt?

It is firmer than a relaxing massage, but it should not be painful. You can ask for lighter pressure at any time.

Can I book on the same day, after a hike?

Yes, subject to availability, every day from 8am to 10pm. Ideally book at least 2 hours ahead using the form or WhatsApp.

How will I be positioned?

Your therapist explains how to get settled. Areas not being massaged stay covered with a towel.

Sports massage or deep tissue massage?

Our sports recovery massage is close to a deep tissue massage: deep, firm pressure on tight muscles, adjusted to how it feels for you. Tell your therapist where to focus: legs, back or shoulders.

Sports massage or four-hands massage?

The sports massage focuses on muscle recovery, with one therapist. The four-hands massage uses two therapists at once for deeper, all-enveloping relaxation.
