There are many different forms of massage and they shouldn't be confused! Sports massage is a far cry from the increasingly popular and gentle, relaxing massages. It's a much deeper form of soft tissue massage that uses specialist techniques to treat the stress and tension that's placed on your body by sport, and returns tissue and muscle fibres to their pre-exercise state.
Benefits of Sports Massage:
Increases cell nutrition which results in healthier muscles and bones
Improves skin condition
Realigning damaged muscle fibres
Breaking down scar tissue
Accelerates the elimination of waste products
Reduces muscle soreness and stiffness
Reduces tension and relaxes the body and mind
Promotes the feeling of well-being
Sports massage helps the body systems to cope with the stresses and strains that are placed on them before and after exercise.
Widely accepted by athletes, coaches and sports industry bodies, sports massage is seen as a means of enhancing performance, aiding recovery and assisting in injury prevention.
The main aims of sports massage are:
Injury prevention
Pre-exercise / event muscle tension release
Recovery from exercise
We are pleased to include Sports Massage Therapy in our range of services
