What is a sports massage?

A sports massage is quite different to a traditional massage, focusing on improving your physical performance and aiding recovery from sports injuries. It will specifically focus on the manipulation of soft tissue, such as skin, muscle, ligaments, tendons and fascia. It can be used before and after physical activity, and many sportspeople who have an intense training schedule will have regular sports massages to help support this.

What does a sports massage feel like?

Remember, a sports massage is designed to benefit your body – it isn’t for relaxation! A sports massage might be uncomfortable as your therapist works deep into soft tissues to stretch and manipulate them. If you have any concerns, talk to your sports massage therapist. They will know exactly what they are doing and will be able to advise you on what to expect, and how this will benefit your body.

How could a sports massage help you?

Sports massages can help improve performance in your chosen sport or activity, conditioning your body and helping you overcome injuries.

The benefits of a sports massage:

  • Improved flexibility
  • Less risk of injury
  • Relief from pain
  • Improved circulation
  • Release from muscle tension
  • Better posture

A sports massage can benefit anyone. They are primarily chosen by sports people, but everyone can see some benefits from soft tissue manipulation, especially if you spend lots of time sitting at a desk and you experience stiffness, aches and pains.

What will happen at your appointment?

All our services begin with a consultation where you will have the opportunity to talk to your therapist, discuss any specific concerns and let them know what you would like to get out of your treatment. They will be able to look at your posture, examine joints and assess any injuries to make sure your treatment can be tailored to you.

Your appointment will last for around 40 minutes. The initial appointment is 60 minutes.
