What is a Sport Massage?

Sports Massage is a type of therapy based on manipulating the soft tissues including the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. It helps to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries and aid recovery. It also reduces tension, improves circulation and promotes relaxation. 
​​​
Our sports massages comprise many massage techniques including effleurage, petrissage, friction, compression, stretching and trigger point therapy to promote relaxation.
​​​
 Sports massage is a highly effective treatment for anyone seeking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance physical wellbeing. It is not limited to athletes — individuals of all activity levels can benefit, whether managing the effects of prolonged desk work, recovering from exercise-related strain, or addressing day-to-day muscular tension.

Indulge in our professional sports massages, tailored to alleviate muscle tension, enhance recovery, and improve flexibility, promoting overall athletic performance and well-being.

Treatment

Initially, treatment often focuses on relieving pain or addressing specific areas of dysfunction. Once symptoms have been resolved, we recommend regular maintenance massage every 4–6 weeks. This approach helps to:


  • Prevent recurrence of injury
  • Maintain joint mobility and muscle flexibility
  • Support long-term musculoskeletal health
  • Reduce stress and improve overall recovery


Sports massage techniques can also complement rehabilitation following injury, assisting tissue healing and restoring normal function. During rehabilitation, weekly sessions may be recommended to optimise recovery, with ongoing maintenance once a month to help preserve results and prevent future problems.

Benefits of Sports Massage

There are a range of health benefits associated with sports massages including improved overall well-being, injury prevention, enhanced recovery and performance. 

Reduces Inflammation

Reduced inflammation especially swelling in muscles.

Reduced muscle tension

Reduced muscle tension and stiffness by releasing tension in the muscles to improve flexibility. This also reduces the risk of strain and sprains. 

Improves Circulation

Improved circulation from increasing blood flow, which increases recovery speed and repair of damaged tissues.

Improved Flexibility

Increased range of motion and improved flexibility leading to performance enhancement and more efficient movement.

Improves Recovery

Faster recovery from reducing muscle soreness and fatigue.

Improved Wellness

Improved wellness and mental health from reducing stress, improving mood and promoting relaxation.

Pain Relief

Relieve pain by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and supporting faster recovery.
