Remedial & Sports Massage Treatments
Sports Massage
A specific application of massage techniques using the three key principles of timing, technique and intent. A qualified sports massage therapist follows these principles to understand what type of sports 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. 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 with 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. It is also possible to fully treat three areas for a maintenance treatment. Alternatively, you can combine deep tissue work to one area along with maintenance on another couple of areas.
90-minute Sports Massage
A sports massage is all about helping your body perform to its best. A 90-minute treatment allows your therapist the time to get to understand your body and your goals. The treatment will start and finish with a consultation which is why 90 minutes is the one to book for the best results.

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.
