VO2MAX's massage and reflexology service covers eight distinct techniques delivered by certified massage therapists and lymphotherapists, ranging from sports and trigger-point massage to pregnancy massage, Graston myofascial instrumentation, Indian head massage, manual lymphatic drainage, and foot/hand/ear reflexology.

The clinic's physiotherapy background means massage treatments are contextualised within a broader understanding of musculoskeletal function, so sessions address underlying movement patterns as well as surface tension.
