Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of manual therapy that focuses on treating and preventing injuries, enhancing athletic performance, and promoting overall recovery and well-being in athletes and active individuals. It involves the manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and increase range of motion.

The main goal of sports massage is to optimize the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, which is often subjected to significant stress and strain
during physical activity. Sports massage techniques are specifically tailored to meet the needs of athletes and can vary depending on the sport, the individual’s training regimen, and their specific areas of concern.

Sports massage can be divided into four types: pre-event, post-event, maintenance, and rehabilitation. The athlete’s body responds differently to each type of massage, and therapists have a variety of techniques they can use to achieve the desired results. Anyone and everyone! Whether you are a seasoned competitor looking to improve your performance and achieve PB, new to sports and want to relax your aching muscles, are returning from an injury and keen to get going again or simply want to prevent injury following gentle jogs, a sports massage could benefit.
