Sports Massage
Sports Massage
Sports massage caters to athletic individuals of all types even those who exercise regularly and have an active lifestyle. Sports massage is focused on certain areas of the body.
It uses a combination of deep and light manual mobilisations and manipulation of soft tissues to loosen muscle knots (trigger points), improve blood flow and prevent lactic acid build up.
Unlike deep tissue massage, the sports massage technique mainly focuses on the areas most vulnerable to injury or stress as well as older and larger areas of built-up tension.
Your therapist will concentrate on areas in the body that are overworked or stress from aggressive and repetitive movements.
Sports Massage techniques use deep tissue and stretching movements on the muscle-tendon junctions to provide certain advantages to enhance athletic performance:
– Pre and post-event preparation
– Calmness of the mind
– Heal and prevent sport injury
– Improving flexibility
– Increased recovery time between training sessions or competition
What our patients say
Zoe
"I received treatment from Sammie following a back injury, after a consultation she quickly identified the issue. Sammie gave me treatment on the area over a couple of appointments, and exercises to do between appointments. Sammie showed me and got me to demonstrate the exercises to ensure I was conducting them correctly, and sent me an email with pictures and descriptions of each exercise. I would highly recommend any treatment from Sammie, she is very approachable, professional and knowledgeable in her practice."
