The Best Spa Treatments for Aching Muscles & Post-Workout Recovery

Intense physical activity can leave muscles feeling sore and fatigued. Incorporating specialised spa treatments into your recovery routine can help to alleviate discomfort and speed-up healing. At DAMU Spa in London, we offer a range of therapies designed to target muscle tension and promote overall well-being.​

Targeted Relief for Muscle Tension

Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. By applying firm pressure and slow strokes, this treatment effectively breaks down adhesions and alleviates chronic muscle tension. It's particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from strenuous workouts. For marathon runners, deep tissue massage is a powerful tool in post-race recovery. It helps to flush out metabolic waste, reduce inflammation in overworked muscles and speed up the repair of micro-tears caused by endurance running.

At DAMU Spa, our skilled therapists tailor each deep tissue massage to address your specific areas of discomfort, ensuring an effective session. By using precise techniques and targeted pressure, they help release muscle knots, improve flexibility and improve circulation. This tailored approach provides long-lasting relief from tension, stiffness and post-workout soreness.

The Origin Pool Experience

Hydrotherapy uses water's therapeutic properties to relieve muscle soreness and improve circulation. DAMU Spa's signature hydrotherapy offering, The Origin Pool, provides a multi-sensory immersive experience that combines sound, chromotherapy and low-frequency vibrations to induce deep relaxation and facilitate muscle recovery.

The Origin Pool's zero-gravity flotation environment, enriched with Epsom salts, allows your body to float effortlessly, reducing pressure on joints and muscles. The high magnesium content in the Epsom salts aids in soothing muscle tension and improving circulation, which is vital after long-distance efforts like marathon running. This immersive float experience offers full-body relief while helping calm the nervous system, ideal for recovering both physically and mentally.

Detoxify and Rejuvenate

Another treatment at DAMU Spa is The Mud Cave Experience. This therapy combines mineral-rich muds, heat, and steam to create a detoxifying and rejuvenating environment. The application of therapeutic mud helps draw out impurities, while the warmth and steam work together to relax muscles, improve circulation and reduce inflammation.

For runners and athletes, the combination of heat, steam and mineral-rich mud helps ease muscle tightness and flush out toxins built up during long runs. It’s a restorative treatment that gently supports the body’s recovery process without added intensity. This process not only reduces muscle aches but also supports overall post-exercise recovery.

The Signature DAMU Experience

For those seeking an all-encompassing treatment, The Signature DAMU Experience offers a 120-minute journey that includes a full-body exfoliation, a massage created to soothe and relax muscles, and a facial customised to your skin type. This holistic approach allows for both your body and mind to receive the care they need for recovery and rejuvenation.
