Sports Massage

What is Sports Massage?

Sports Massage, just like Remedial Massage, consists mainly of soft tissue manipulation, and is often working the deeper tissues of your body. It works by increasing blood flow for rapid muscle repair and promotes healthy muscle function through the elimination of any adhesions (microscopic tears) in the muscles and surrounding soft tissues, as a result of your sporting activities. Different soft tissue techniques are carefully selected, depending on if your massage is pre or post event. Your sports treatment is tailored to your past, current, and future sporting programs and we work with you to achieve your peak athletic performance – whatever that may mean for you.

Who will benefit from Sports Massage?

Sports Massage is suited to anyone active who is placing specific challenges on their body; from weekend warriors, those just beginning to get fit, to elite athletes. You may be deep in training for a special event, or just embarking on a new program, it’s all going to place strains on your body that we can assist with. Massage aids muscle growth and development, and is also crucial in preventing injuries such as muscle strains and tears.

For those in physical/sports training of any kind, sports massage can assist in maintaining consistency which is arguably the most important aspect for achieving results.

Sports Massage will also benefit clients pre-event to ensure the body is in optimal condition for competition, or post-event to aid in recovery. Timing of treatment is important, so talk with your therapist about your training goals today.
