What is Sports Massage?
Sports Massage is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the muscles, tendons and connective tissues to improve movement, reduce discomfort and support recovery.
Although originally developed for athletes, sports massage is suitable for anyone experiencing muscular tension, stiffness or physical discomfort.
It can be used to:
-
Reduce muscle tightness
-
Improve circulation
-
Increase flexibility
-
Speed up recovery
-
Prepare the body before exercise
-
Support rehabilitation after injury
How Sports Massage can help you?
Massage can be booked as an individual treatment or combined with exercise rehabilitation to potentially accelerate or enhance your recovery.
​
We have a great understanding of human anatomy and movement patterns which enables us to provide top quality sports and deep tissue massage. Our anatomical knowledge means we can explain to you why certain areas of your body need massage attention more than others.
​
After a brief discussion with you, we will apply the correct massage type to support your needs.
​
What will happen during the session?
We still look to assess your injury, pain or dysfunction to ensure massage will be an effective tool compared to other treatment options. However, the majority of the session is made up performing manual therapy.
​
-
Conduct a postural assessment
-
Conduct movement screening between the affected and non-affected sides
-
Provide different forms of massage techniques for the best outcome (short and long-term)
-
Regular massage is often used for ongoing support to optimise recovery and performance
