PHYSIOFIT DUBAI

Sports Massage Dubai

Searching for the best sports massage in Dubai? At PhysioFit in Business Bay, our specialist therapists combine deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and sports-specific techniques to release tension, speed up recovery and keep you performing at your best — whether you are a professional athlete or a desk-bound professional.

Our sports massage helps with:

Muscle soreness and post-training recovery
Deep tissue tension in the neck, shoulders and back
Pre-event preparation and post-event flushing
ITB, calf and hamstring tightness in runners
Padel, tennis and golf-related muscle strain
Desk posture tension and stress-related tightness
Scar tissue and adhesions after injury or surgery
Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
Injury prevention through regular maintenance
Headaches linked to neck and shoulder tension

What is sports massage?

Sports massage is a targeted form of deep tissue massage that works on the muscles, tendons and fascia most stressed by your sport or lifestyle. Unlike a relaxation massage, it is goal-driven: we identify the tissue restricting your movement or causing your pain, then use deep pressure, stretching and trigger point release to restore normal function. At PhysioFit every massage is delivered by therapists who understand sports injuries — so your session supports your recovery plan, not just temporary relief.

Benefits of sports massage at PhysioFit:

Faster recovery between training sessions
Reduced muscle stiffness and delayed-onset soreness (DOMS)
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Lower injury risk through early detection of tight tissue
Relief from chronic neck, back and shoulder tension
Better circulation and reduced swelling
A calmer nervous system and better sleep

Why choose PhysioFit for sports massage in Dubai?

Our massage therapists work alongside our physiotherapists and chiropractor, so your massage is part of a bigger picture. If we find something that needs more than massage — a joint issue, a nerve irritation, a movement problem — you are already in the right clinic. Add a calm treatment space overlooking the Dubai Canal, and you have the ideal environment to recover, reset and perform.

What to expect at your session

Your therapist will ask about your training, your problem areas and your goals before starting. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes and focus on the areas that need it most — pressure is always adapted to your tolerance. Many of our patients book a regular weekly or monthly maintenance massage to stay ahead of tightness and prevent injuries before they start.

We were in Dubai for a couple of days, and just after 1 appointment with D.C Mickael Malle, my lower back pain began to subside. He was able to quickly identify the issue, perform dry needling and adjustment, so my muscle spasm would release. Highly recommend! Thank you for helping me so I could continue with my planned activities.

I am incredibly grateful to Shereen for helping me recover from a severe multi-ligament and meniscus injury in my knee, which I sustained playing football. Her knowledge and guidance have been instrumental in my recovery. The first session was one of the most crucial sessions. She eagerly listened to my trauma and ensured that I got into the details of the injury. She also recommended seeing a well-known orthopedic before starting starting with any treatment. Shereen makes sure to understand your lifestyle and goals before setting any sort of plan. In my case, she focused on improving my range of motion and addressing my pain through effective needling techniques. The needing technique not only did the pain decrease significantly, but I also saw a noticeable improvement in my mobility. Later on, she guided me with targeted exercises to rebuild the muscles I had lost due to the injury, helping me regain strength and confidence. The progress I have made with her help has been incredible. I truly think she is delightful to work with, and it is always worth seeing her if you are dealing with any sort of injury.

I came to Dr. Shereen with lot of pain, cramps and discomfort from multiple long term injuries. From calves all the way to my neck, Dr Shereen was able to completely fix my injuries in two weeks. She has brilliant attention to detail and knowledge to handle all kinds of injuries. 10/10 Highly recommended. Best wishes to the Physiofit Team.

Shereen is incredible! So knowledgeable. As a runner here in Dubai there is no one else I would attend when I sustain an injury. She understands all sports but particularly running having been a runner herself. This instills huge confidence in me and her patients. She focuses on the long term solution to any injury rather than a short term fix. She uses various techniques to ensure I am back healthy and doing what I love. I can’t recommend this lady enough!

Amazing result !!! I had severe tennis elbow and visited 2 physio centers before getting referred to PhysioFit. Unfortunately none of the other centers managed to treat my injury. Shereen is truly amazing, she explained to me exactly what was the cause of my injury and guided me step by step on how the treatment would work. The best part is that I am finally back to tennis in full force for the last 3 weeks, playing 3 times a week "pain free". Don't get fooled by the social media ads ! And only visit trusted physiotherapist like Shereen ! Thank you Mary as well for organizing all the sessions and answering all my queries.

After undergoing surgery for an Achilles tendon rupture, I was on the path to recovery, but before meeting Shereen, my ankle was severely swollen and purple. The healing process was slow, and my doctor said it would take a year before I could play tennis again. However, thanks to Shereen’s dry needling and massage, along with Michelle’s exercise regimen, I’ve made an incredible recovery. Now, just eight months later, I’m running around on the court. Shereen is also a wonderful person; she has a way of instilling positivity, helping me tackle rehabilitation amidst anxiety.

Best Rehab center in town with top-notch professionals! Before coming to Shereen I was lost in pain for more than 2 years! Shes very knowledgeable, patient and truly takes the time to explain the case and what’s happening to your body. I had to see Dr Mika as well and he's just amazing. Both helped and supported my very long healing journey and getting to the end its line, I’m blessed to come across them as I have seen lot of other physiotherapists before and none have gave the amount of relief and comfort Shereen and Dr Mika provided. Highly recommend! You will truly feel the difference after the first visit

Shereen isn‘t just a wizard at healing people. What sets her apart is how much she cares about the individual, going above and beyond to ensure endurance athletes can get back to pursue their training plans and dreams. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Shereen at PhysioFit, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible care I received. After suffering from persistent headaches for months, I was beginning to lose hope of finding relief. However, after just a few sessions with Shereen, my headaches are no longer occurring and have been cured. Thank you so much!

Physiofit is the only place in Dubai that knows how to treat injuries, aches and pains. After years of trying different physiotherapists and osteopaths to help me with chronic back pain, knee injury and neck pain, I finally found Shereen. Not only did she fix my back but also got me moving and helped me by fixing the knee pain. Thanks to her I am now able to work out in the gym and have even lost weight. Her dry needling skills and her ability to treat pain is simply outstanding. Big thank you to the Physiofit team; especially Shereen Hassam!

Shereen is hands down the best physiotherapist. She helped alleviate pain I had for over a year in my neck, shoulder and back due to a car accident injury. My range of movement is restored. She also treats her clients with compassion and take the time to explain how the treatment works. She has blessed hands.

I have been a patient of PhysioFit for more than a year. I have incredible aspirations of long distance running and have subsequently had two meniscus repairs. I consulted with Shereen and she completely understand a runners mindset. Shereen is one of the best medical precessional I have ever consulted. She has extensive experience and her dry needling speciality is unbeatable. She got me running again (after many doubted my quick return) and I did an Ultra marathon in less than 3 months after surgery. This year with a few maintenance appointments I ran my fastest time in 10 years. She is caring and treat only what is needed. This is owner managed practice which means there is love for human well being because there is skin in the game. Shereen is lots of skin in this game. I would recommend her a million times over.

Shereen is an amazing physio. Thanks to her treatment I was able to recover on time from an injury to run the Dubai marathon in 3h. Also, she helps me maintain my legs in shape for all the heavy training load I put my body through. Thank you Shereen!

Great clinic, kind staff, good energy with an amazing view. I’m seeing Dr Mika for chiropractic sessions since months and it’s getting better and better. He really masters what he’s doing, makes the effort to listen and understand your trauma and is very kind. Didn’t try physiotherapy at the moment but can’t wait to do some sessions. I recommend going there.

Shereen is highly professional, very experienced and was very kind to provide after treatment advice once I left Dubai. She help me correct a severe lateral shift, which is very difficult to do, and requires particular skill with dry needling in a delicate area of the lower back. I highly recommend her services.

I have been to many physiotherapist around all the Uae and haven’t felt a difference after the sessions, I have almost done 20-30 session of physiotherapy with other doctors , all of the sessions combined isn’t even close with one session of Dr Shereen , I have done 5 sessions with Dr Shereen and every time I am done with one session I feel better almost instantly. On top of all of that Dr Shereen is one of the kindest Doctor I have ever met, I highly recommend physio fit Because amount of experience in the therapy and amount of kindness. I have been lifting weight during that time of therapy and still do, i didn’t have lot of restrictions from any exercises, Dr Shereen made me continue fitness life as normal and improved my lower back pain.
