Feel Better.
Move Better. Perform Better.
Every rep you've ever done. Every mile you've run. Every hour hunched over your desk. Your body remembers all of it and right now, it's showing.
Rolling out of bed takes actual strategy
Carrying groceries up the stairs wipes you out for an hour
Your legs feel like concrete pillars by the end of the day
You've tried everything: Foam rolling. YouTube stretches. Ibuprofen. Hoping it goes away. It didn't work. Because you're treating symptoms, not the actual problem.
Chris Maggi helps you undo the damage.

Unlike massage, which applies pressure downward into the muscles, dry cupping lifts and decompresses the tissue, making it especially effective for tight, stagnant areas. It can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery from muscle fatigue.

This technique stimulates blood flow, promotes tissue healing, and improves mobility by breaking down fascial restrictions. It is commonly used for conditions such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, and post-injury rehabilitation.
IASTM may cause mild redness as circulation increases, but treatments are controlled, precise, and designed to support faster recovery and improved movement.
Our Happy Customers
I crossed paths with Chris around seven years ago, when I was training for the craziest run I’ve ever embarked on. From the very beginning, his support was invaluable. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, I was able to keep up with extremely intensive training regimes while avoiding injuries. Chris was always there when I needed him — even on public holidays — making sure my body could cope with the demands I was putting it through. Since then, I’ve never looked back. To this day, my monthly maintenance session with Chris is non-negotiable. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have made a lasting difference to my training and overall wellbeing.

What should I wear?
Come comfortable. Women: bikini, comfortable underwear, or sports wear. Men: loose sports wear or shorts. We want you to relax and get the best treatment.
Can I exercise before my appointment?
Yes! You can train before.
Can I train after my appointment?
We advise no training right after your appointment. Wait 24-48 hours. Your body needs time to recover and get stronger. If you're sore the next day, skip the gym.

What do I do after my massage?
Rest for the day. Drink lots of water. Eat protein to help your muscles rebuild. Follow your therapist's advice.
What if I'm sick or on medication?
Skip your appointment. Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and other strong medicines don't mix well with massage. Talk to your therapist first.
Is this medical treatment?
No. Under Maltese law, massage therapy is a complementary service. We work with medical professionals but we're not doctors.
Is sports massage only for athletes?
Not at all! Anyone who wants their body to feel better can benefit from sports massage.
