Sports Massage

What is sports massage?

Sports massage is manual therapy that manipulates soft tissues to relieve muscular tightness and strains. A variety of massage techniques involving applying pressure using thumbs, hands or elbows are used to provide moderate to deep massage strokes to manipulate soft tissues, with the technique adapted to suit the area of the body needing attention.

Despite its name, sports massage is not limited to sporty people. It is typically used to relieve sports injuries, but the same injuries can also result from occupational or vocational demands and stresses or physical hobbies.

What are the benefits?

The main benefits of a sports massage are:

Enhanced Circulation: Stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles, promoting healing, and reducing inflammation.
Injury Prevention: Identifies and addresses muscle imbalances and tightness, reducing the risk of strains and sprains.
Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation: Alleviates muscle tension, knots, and trigger points, leading to reduced pain and improved flexibility.
Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity: Promotes the release of endorphins, enhancing mood and mental focus, while reducing anxiety.
Improved Sleep Quality: Encourages relaxation, leading to better sleep patterns and overall well-being.
