Loved by the FOMA community

From athletes chasing marginal gains to people simply taking an hour for themselves — here is what our clients across Belfast and Newtownabbey have to say.

"I can't recommend FOMA and Mark highly enough. The treatment was explained thoroughly beforehand, so I knew exactly what to expect and felt completely comfortable throughout the process. The benefits have been fantastic. After undergoing cryotherapy treatment, my ankles have completely recovered. I no longer experience pain or swelling after runs, which has made a huge difference to both my training and recovery. Mark was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me achieve the best results. A great experience from start to finish."
Blake Johnstonvia Google
"Best sports massage I've ever had and I've had plenty. Used the sauna facilities prior which are second to none highly recommend! Mark knows his stuff and is very educated in sports recovery will definitely be returning back for monthly treatment with him."
Eric Thompsonvia Google

FAQs

Everything you need to know before you visit.

Common questions about sports recovery, our sauna and ice bath suite, massage and cryotherapy in Newtownabbey, near Belfast. Can't see your question? Just ask us.

Does cryotherapy help with sports injuries?

Yes. Our localised cryotherapy applies precise, intense cold to a specific area — an ankle, knee, shoulder or muscle — to reduce pain, swelling and inflammation and support faster recovery from sports injuries. We offer free consultations so we can assess your injury and recommend the right approach before you book.

What's the difference between an infrared sauna and a traditional sauna?

A traditional sauna heats the air around you with a stone heater for deep, enveloping heat and a strong sweat. Our market-leading Clearlight infrared sauna uses gentle infrared to warm the body directly from within at a lower air temperature — easier to tolerate for longer, and great for muscle recovery, circulation and relaxation. In our Wellness & Recovery Suite you can use both in a single session.

How do sauna & ice bath sessions work?

The Wellness & Recovery Suite is booked as a one-hour session that you can enjoy on your own or with friends. Sessions are shared but kept intimate, with a maximum of 8 people at any one time. Group and private sessions are also available on request — just get in touch.

How does an ice bath or cold plunge help recovery?

Cold-water immersion helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after training, boosts circulation, and leaves you feeling sharp, focused and reset. Alternating between our saunas and ice bath (hot and cold contrast) is one of the most effective ways to recover and feel your best.

What types of massage do you offer?

Sports massage is our main offering — ideal for injury management, muscle tension and performance. We also provide relaxing holistic massage, Indian head massage and hands-on lymphatic drainage massage. If you would prefer lymphatic drainage without a hands-on treatment, our full-body compression suit is a great alternative.

How often should I come for the best results?

Recovery works best when it is consistent. Most regular clients visit one to three times a week, and our membership plans are designed to make that habit affordable and easy compared with paying as you go. We are happy to recommend a routine based on your training and goals.

Do you offer team and group recovery sessions?

Yes. We host private small-group and team recovery sessions in the wellness suite — popular with sports clubs, running groups and gyms across Belfast and Newtownabbey. Contact us to discuss our team recovery options.
