sports therapy massage
Sports therapy massage is concerned with the manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body eg. muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It is primarily used to help clients recover from and prevent injuries. Whilst it has its roots in sports, massage techniques such as deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release help alleviate pain, reduce tension, and improve flexibility.
These techniques have much broader application and are relevant and helpful for many clients; from those seeking greater everyday mobility, keen gym goers, amateur and professional athletes or simply clients who are pre or post operation. It can help by increasing range of motion, reducing muscle stiffness, and promoting better circulation.
Pain, limited mobility and low energy are often the result of stresses and strains placed on our body. The natural ability to heal itself can be blocked by muscle tension and with massage, restrictions can be released and so normal function returns. Symptoms such as IBS, headaches or poor sleep can also be alleviated.
It can help in injury prevention by identifying areas of tension or weakness and addressing them before they become a problem.
what to expect
Your practitioner will typically start by assessing your physical condition and discuss any areas of tension or injury. They will then use a combination of massage techniques to address these issues, focusing on specific muscle groups and using varying levels of pressure to achieve the desired results. This work may complement existing physiotherapy programmes or other body treatment, such as acupuncture or osteopathy and provide much needed hands-on relief for ongoing conditions.
Overall, it can be an effective way to improve physical wellbeing, mobility, prevent and aid recovery from injury, and of course, improve athletic performance.
