Sports Massage

---

Sports Massage uses a range of soft-tissue techniques to help reduce muscular tension, improve movement and support recovery.

It is suitable for both athletes and lifestyle. You do not need to participate in sport to benefit. Treatment can be adapted to suit your needs, whether you are managing general tightness, recovering from training or simply feeling the effects of work and everyday life.

Sports Massage may be helpful for:

• Muscular tightness and tension
• Post-training soreness and fatigue
• Restricted or uncomfortable movement
• Recovery between training sessions or events
• General maintenance and injury prevention
• Tension associated with work or posture
• Preparing for or recovering from competition
• Relaxation and reducing physical stress

Every treatment is adapted to your comfort, preferences and reasons for attending.

Your therapist will begin by discussing any areas of tension, discomfort or restriction and what you would like to gain from the session.

Treatment will then focus on the relevant areas using techniques selected according to your needs and preferred level of pressure.

Your appointment may include:

• Sports and deep-tissue massage
• Soft-tissue release techniques
• Trigger-point therapy
• Assisted stretching
• Advice on movement, recovery and self-management

Not every technique will be used during every appointment. Your therapist will discuss the treatment with you and adapt it throughout the session.

Sports Massage does not need to be extremely painful to be effective.

Pressure and techniques can be adjusted throughout your appointment, whether you prefer a deeper treatment or a more comfortable recovery-focused session.

Your therapist will work with you to ensure that the treatment remains appropriate and purposeful.

Choose Sports Massage if you mainly want hands-on treatment for muscular tension, soreness, recovery or general maintenance.

Choose Sports Therapy if you have a specific injury, persistent pain or a problem that requires physical assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.

If you are unsure which appointment to book, please get in touch and we can help you choose.
