Sports massage is beneficial for everyone
What is a Sports Massage?
Our sports massage is a versatile treatment that can benefit anyone. Whether you're a competitive athlete, a sports novice, or someone recovering from an injury, our sports massage can help you achieve your goals. It's also a great option for those looking to prevent injury during their daily activities. No matter your situation, age, or ability, a sports massage could be the ideal solution for you.
Sports massage, a more focused and intense approach to addressing injuries and strains, provides a comforting relief that regular massages may not offer. It involves the application of sustained pressure and slow, deep strokes to target muscles and connective tissues, making it a popular choice among active individuals seeking relief from muscle tension. This type of massage helps break up scar tissue from injuries and reduces muscle tension, offering a unique form of comfort.
Sports Massage Can Change Your Life!
What does sports massage feel like?
Due to the deep tissue manipulation, a sports massage may feel intense. While there may be some discomfort, which could be related to your current injury or resulting soreness, the massage itself should never be excessively painful. Our therapists are trained to work with you to adjust the pressure used to your individual needs and preferences. This process involves continuous communication and feedback from you, ensuring that the pressure is always within your comfort zone.
We understand that everyone has different pain thresholds, and we take the time to ensure that the pressure applied during the massage is uniquely tailored to you. If you ever feel discomfort during your session, rest assured that our therapists are committed to prioritising your comfort and relaxation. We will work with you to make any necessary adjustments to ensure your well-being.
INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED
Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you play sports or not, overuse injuries can occur due to our daily activities. Sports and remedial massage can treat these injuries. We will identify the activities that may be causing the injuries and provide straightforward advice, treatment, and exercises to help. Making small changes can have a significant impact.
The amount and frequency of massages depend on your lifestyle and activity levels. A person training for a marathon or playing sports will likely benefit from more frequent massages than an office worker or stay-at-home mom. If your issues are minor, 2 or 3 treatments might be sufficient. Whatever your needs, we can help guide you in the right direction.
Everybody responds differently to pain, so our pressure is tailored to your needs. We aim to be sensitive to your needs and requirements and help you in the best way possible. Sometimes, your body may be slightly sensitive to massage, but it should not be unbearable. It is important not to suffer in silence; keep communicating with us throughout your treatment.
You may feel some soreness or fatigue in your muscles after the treatment, and you might also notice some bruising. These side effects are generally considered normal and should not cause significant concern. Importantly, they are temporary and should resolve within 24 hours. Additionally, these side effects are less likely to occur as you have more massage sessions.
Sports massage is suitable for individuals of all activity levels and can benefit anyone, not just athletes. Both men & women of all ages can benefit. Office workers often experience backaches, as well as stiffness in their neck and shoulders, making them ideal candidates for sports massage therapy.
Towels are used during the treatment, but you will be asked to remove clothing so that we can access the treatment areas. We require you to keep your underwear on. If you are more comfortable, you can wear a pair of loose shorts.
