What is sports massage?

Sports massage involves manipulating soft tissue to increase range of movement, prevent injury, and provide rehabilitation of muscles, ligaments, and tendons within the body. It uses various methods to mobilise, strengthen, and stretch soft tissue, enhancing performance while encouraging circulation and promoting the healing of damaged tissue.

How can sports massage help?

Sports Massage techniques can be used pre-event as part of a warm-up program to prepare for activity, post-event to aid the cool down and assess injury, and for continued maintenance to ensure the body is in prime condition and prevent injury.

Sports massage can also be used to aid in the relaxation of tired and weary muscles brought on by any physical exertion, for example, gardening, decorating or repetitive lifting. It can effectively ease postural related muscle pain which may be due to prolonged sitting at a computer.

Post-event, sports massage aids recovery by alleviating muscle soreness, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. This helps athletes recover faster and prevent future injuries.
