Sports Massage Therapy
– for injury prevention
Are your muscles starting to tighten? Do you find yourself holding back through fear of injury? Is that fear starting to hamper your performance?
Whatever the cause, Sports Massage can increase your flexibility and get you back into action more quickly
How Sports Massage works
Sports Massage manipulates the tissue in your body to encourage movement and reduce stiffness. It helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury.
It is proven to:
- Release and reduce tension in muscles
- Improve circulation
- Reduce DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) by helping to remove waste
products such as lactic acid - Help to relax your body
This treatment can be useful at various stages in your exercise routine from preparation and training to competition and recovery. It is an excellent way to encourage your tissues to heal more quickly and help avoid injury.
What happens in a Sports Massage session?
It starts with a quick chat over Zoom, to see if Sports Massage is right for you. Then all being well, we’ll invite you in for a physical consultation. Here we’ll get a full history, assess your injury and begin your first treatment.
Oh, and don’t forget to bring a pair of shorts along, so I can assess your body structure.
“Will Sports Massage work for me?”
Yes, every client we’ve worked with to date has benefitted from Sports Massage.
Inevitably though, the treatment depends on your injury and other factors like your body make-up and benefits some more than others. So we won’t know how this will work for you until after your first treatment.
“Just want to say a big thank you Andrea for your expert treatment of an old shoulder injury which had been playing me up for years. That, together with the targeted exercises you suggested I do at home, and which I have continued to do, has meant that over a year later, I’ve stayed pain free with significantly improved movement in my shoulder and arm! If only I had visited you sooner.”
