SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a form of massage involving manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity. It is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma.

​

The techniques used are very much like those used in Swedish massage but sports massage often works much deeper into the muscles, allowing the therapist to concentrate on one muscle or a group of muscles according to your needs.

Benefits of sports massage include:

​

  • Increased joint range of motion

  • Increased flexibility

  • Increased sense of well being

  • Decreased muscle tension

  • Decreased neurological excitability (nerves more relaxed)

  • Decreased muscle spasms

  • Better sleep

It’s because of these benefits that people are experiencing through sports massage, that this treatment has been widely accepted in America, Canada and Australia for many years now, while in the UK, the practise only became more widely known and used in the 1990s. Popularity for sports massage therapy continues to grow.

​

Sports massage can help alleviate the symptoms and discomfort of injury and general muscle fatigue and should be incorporating in with your training programme for maximum performance results.
