Relaxation & Sports Massage – Morningside, Edinburgh

Support, Soothe & Reset with Relaxation & Sports Massage at Sano Studio

We know how life gets. Whether you're juggling work and family, training for an event, or simply navigating the everyday, stress and tension can build up quickly—and often without you even noticing. Here at Sano Studio in Morningside, Edinburgh, we’re passionate about helping you feel more at ease in your body, more grounded in yourself, and more supported in your wellbeing.

Massage is one of the most effective ways to reset, and our tailored relaxation and sports massage treatments are designed with that exact intention in mind.

Relaxation Massage – A Space to Let Go

If your shoulders are creeping up to your ears, your sleep is a bit hit and miss, or your nervous system feels stuck in 'go mode', relaxation massage Edinburgh can offer a gentle reset. This treatment isn’t just about feeling good in the moment (although you absolutely will)—it’s about creating lasting calm.

We’ll ease out muscle tension with flowing, restorative techniques, encourage better circulation, and invite your mind to slow down. Many of our clients say they leave the room feeling like they’ve “come back into their body” or “breathed properly for the first time in days.”

This is your time. No pressure. No judgement. Just a chance to exhale.

Sports Massage – Move Better, Recover Faster

If you're active—whether that means running, weight training, yoga, pilates, or long dog walks—sports massage can support your body to keep going, comfortably and confidently. It’s not just for athletes (although we see plenty!); it’s for anyone who wants to move more freely or bounce back quicker after a tough session.

We’ll work with you to understand what’s going on—tight hips, stiff shoulders, niggling lower back—and build a session that targets those areas with purpose. Expect a mix of deeper techniques, stretching, and focused work where you need it most.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Every session is tailored to you, your body, and how you're feeling that day.

Why Morningside Locals Trust Us

Being based here in Morningside, Edinburgh means we’re lucky to support a close-knit, wellness-conscious community. Our clients come to us because they want more than just a standard massage—they want connection, consistency, and treatments that genuinely make a difference.

You’ll find a welcoming space here. We’re not clinical or cold. We’re real people, creating a calm environment where your needs come first. We also understand that some days you want to chat, and other days you just need quiet. Either way, we’ll hold space for you.

Relaxation & Sports Massage in Morningside – Which is Right for You?

You don’t need to decide before you walk in. Many of our clients book a massage simply knowing they need support—and we’ll figure out the rest together.

Some days, it’s about softening into rest and letting go of stress. Other times, it’s about targeted work to release a tight neck or support recovery from a long hike or a heavy gym session.

Our therapists will always guide you, and treatments can easily blend relaxation and sports techniques if that’s what your body needs.

FAQs – You Asked, We Answered

I’ve never had a massage before. What should I expect?

You’ll be welcomed into a quiet, comfortable space and we’ll start with a short chat about how you're feeling. We always work within your comfort zone, and you’ll be covered with towels throughout. The goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and completely at ease.

Is sports massage painful?

We don’t believe that “no pain, no gain” is the answer. Yes, some areas may feel tender if they’re particularly tight, but we’ll communicate throughout the session and adjust pressure as needed. It’s your body—you’re always in control.

Can I book a mix of relaxation and sports massage?

Absolutely. In fact, that’s what we do most often! Many of our clients benefit from a combination approach—starting with calm, restorative techniques and then working more deeply into specific areas of tension.

How often should I get a massage?

It depends on your lifestyle. If you’re training regularly or dealing with chronic stress, weekly or fortnightly sessions can be helpful. For general wellbeing, once a month is a great rhythm to stay connected to your body and support overall balance.

Do you offer massage gift vouchers?

Yes, we do! Gifting someone the space to rest, recover or reconnect with themselves is always appreciated. You can purchase gift vouchers through our website or in-studio.
