ABOUT SPORTS MASSAGE
Who Can Benefit from Sports Massage?
Sports Massage really is for everyone! You don’t need to be a sports-person to benefit from Sports Massage. It can help alleviate day-to-day problems such as repetitive strain injuries, lingering pain, tensions, sprains, and fatigues. Different techniques such as massage, friction, trigger point, active and passive stretching are used to manipulate specific muscles according to your needs, aiming to help increase mobility and circulation and decrease discomfort, or as a maintenance treatment for prevention of injury or strain.
Sports Massage for Athletes
In terms of sports-people, Sports Massage can be used to support treatment of and recovery from acute injuries, improve flexibility and range of movement, and enhance performance.
Techniques Used in Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a form of deep tissue massage that applies deep pressure to the muscles, focusing on specific trouble points. When you have knotted muscles, want something deeper than a traditional massage, or have more specific ailments, more attentive deep tissue massage techniques are required. I am always conscious that the massage you receive needs to be right for you, so it is very important to always speak up and let me know if you need the pressure to be adjusted (i.e., if you need me to lighten up because it is too deep, or to apply more because it is not deep enough). Most people need more pressure in some areas and less in others.
