Four Seasons Hotel Dublin is launching an exclusive, first to Ireland, new sports massage treatment specifically tailored to golfers and designed with broad appeal - from enthusiasts with single handicaps to those who play more socially.

The exclusive Golf Ball Massage is delivered by The Spa’s award winning therapists using a special rolling massage device with an inner golf ball that allows for deep, smooth and soothing contact between hand and tender muscles. The treatment offers relief for “trigger-point” pain from small knots in muscles with its steady pressure and gliding abilities, and is tailored to the deep massage work required.

Des Smyth, Irish golfing legend, two time Ryder Cup player, Ryder Cup Vice Captain and still touring with the Seniors tried the Golf Ball Massage at The Spa for himself and said , “I’m delighted to say that The Spa’s Golf Ball Massage certainly did give me the high-pressure massage I’d been hoping for. The rolling technique really works and has helped loosen some of the tightness I occasionally get in my lower back. I’d definitely recommend it.”

Following the treatment, guests can relax in The Spa, the city’s only full service spa with access to all of its amenities including a fully equipped gymnasium, lap pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and outdoor courtyard area. Guests leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on the fairway with style.

For those looking to combine the treatment with Golf Conditioning from The Spa’s Preferred Golf Conditioning Coach & Personal Trainer Eric Miller, tailored packages are available.
