A Sports Massage Clinic That Comes To You
Why Choose A Sports Massage?
A sports massage is a specific application of massage techniques using the three key principles of timing, technique and intent. A qualified massage therapist follows these principles to understand what type of massage to apply at any given time. This ensures that you receive the exact treatment suited to your needs.
A sports massage therapist uses intense, fast-paced, heavy kneading massage techniques designed to work deeper and more targeted than other forms of massage. A sports massage is one of the most effective ways to maintain and protect the body from aches, pains and injuries.
Common conditions and injuries are caused by common unintentional mistakes we all make like wearing the wrong footwear, overusing a muscle group or sitting too long with bad posture this can lead to being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, runners knee or plantar fasciitis, sports massage can help relieve this pain.
Sports massage can also be used by anyone looking to enhance physical performance or those engaging in physical activity at any level from an absolute beginner, regular gym-goer to the athlete.

60-minute Sports Massage
The 60-minute option is versatile and thorough depending on your issues and circumstances. If you have limited mobility there is time to fully treat two areas.

Useful Information About Your Sports Massage
The benefits of a sports massage
Massage at home is wonderful as it means there is no rushing to get to your appointment and it’s easier to fit it into your schedule and helps if your mobility has been affected.
Improves range of motion, speeds recovery after injury and reduces scar tissue, enhances performance, aids relaxation and reduces pain, improves mood & reduces stress and anxiety.
What to expect
Expect trigger point techniques, soft tissue and myofascial release and strong pressure that manipulates your muscles. Your therapist will chat through your medical history and any current or past injuries. During your consultation, they will perform a postural and gait analysis too.
How to prepare
To prepare for your massage you may want to think about having a room ready that is warm and comfortable and has enough space for a massage bed, this would help but is not necessary as your massage therapist can make suggestions for where would be suitable.
For anyone alleviating pain or treating injuries, it’s best to be fully hydrated before your treatment and avoid eating a big meal.
It’s best to have your sports massage 1-2 days, or even on the day of an event and for best results a sports massage after the event no later than 1-2 days after.
After your massage
Once your treatment has come to an end, your therapist will allow you to rise gradually, dress, and have a seat while everything gets packed away and then leaves you relaxing and gaining the added benefits of not having to go anywhere afterwards.
