Massage is often considered as therapeutic and relaxing. Sports massage is commonly associated with the opposite; pain and discomfort.

There are many proven benefits to sports massage including relaxation, recovery aid, warm ups, improve posture, pain relief, improve range of motion, prehabilitation and more.

How does sports massage work?

Sports massage including a wide variety of techniques that not all other disciplines use, including both superficial and deep tissue techniques. The combination of techniques works to counter the effects of a demanding modern life such as poor posture from being sat at a desk all day, aggressive or ballistic exercise, high impact exercise or assist in the recovery and repair of soft tissue injuries. Many of these issues present after several weeks, months or years, and the treatment for them can be ongoing. Sometimes sports massage on its own is enough, other times it can be an effective supplement to other therapies too.

In some cases you may find that only a few treatments are sufficient to help you achieve your recovery goal, in others it may take many treatments. Results can vary due to the nature of the problem and how well your body responds each session. However you can expect to always come away feeling a little better!

Why you should use sports massage?

Like personal training and coaching, sports massage is very individual. We will take the time to understand what you are experiencing and deliver the appropriate treatment for the problem. Treatments can be delivered in the comfort of your own home by a professional with extensive training in sports massage therapy and corrective exercise. Get in touch today to book your consultation!
