Sports massage

Want to prevent or treat an injury, improve mobility, or enhance performance and recovery? Sports massage may be for you.

Since the eighteenth century sports massage has been used by athletes in a range of sports to prepare for and recover from competitions.

As well as every athlete being different, every sport utilises different muscle groups and joint actions. Sports massage therapy is tailored to the individual, their sport, and their needs; and uses a range of pressures, techniques and stretches.

Sports massage can be used to treat and prevent injuries, postural imbalances, and improve mobility. In addition, stretching techniques can be applied to reduce muscle tension, increase muscle length and ease pressure, reducing pain.

While sports massage has obvious benefits for athletes such as enhanced performance and improved recovery, it is also beneficial for non-athletes. Anyone can suffer from stiffness, pain, postural imbalances and long term chronic pain caused by diseases such as fibromyalgia, migraine and back pain. Sports massage can help with all of these issues.

The overall benefits of sports massage can include:

• Muscle relaxation

• Swelling reduction

• Improved circulation

• Improved flexibility and range of motion in joints

• Improved recovery rate from exercise

• Injury prevention
