Deep Tissue Massage for Runners in Geelong | The Manx Myo
Running is hugely popular in Geelong, from long runs along Eastern Beach to training for the Surf Coast Century and Melbourne Marathon. But with the benefits of running often comes muscle tightness, fatigue, or stubborn injuries that slow you down.
At The Manx Myo, we specialise in deep tissue massage and myotherapy in Geelong, helping runners recover faster, move better, and stay injury-free.
What is Deep Tissue Massage in Myotherapy?
Deep tissue massage works on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia to release tension, ease pain, and improve function. Unlike a relaxation massage, it’s designed to target problem areas and restore healthy movement patterns.
At The Manx Myo Geelong, we combine deep tissue massage with myotherapy techniques such as:
Dry needling.
Cupping. Read our blog here
Joint mobilisation
Corrective exercise
This approach ensures your treatment is personalised to your needs as a runner, whether you’re training for a half marathon, running trails, or simply jogging around the Barwon River.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage for Runners in Geelong
Runners of all levels can benefit from deep tissue massage as part of a myotherapy plan. Some key benefits include:
Faster Recovery – Increase circulation and flush out soreness after long runs or race day.
Reduced Muscle Tightness – Release tight calves, quads, glutes, ITB and hamstrings — common hotspots for Geelong runners.
Injury Prevention – Addressing restrictions reduces the risk of shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or knee pain.
Pain Relief – Effective for both short-term strains and long-term running niggles.
Better Mobility & Performance – Run with a freer stride, conserve energy, and improve overall performance.
