Sports Massage

Sports massage is a particular form of massage therapy using a range of techniques designed to help you as an athlete or active individual to enhance your performance, prevent injuries, and promote faster recovery. It focuses on specific muscle groups used during your sports activities, helping you to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate soreness.

Regular sports massages can help you maintain optimal muscle function, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of injury. It can also help you recover more quickly after intense training sessions or competitions, allowing you to get back to your peak performance levels sooner. Overall, sports massage is a valuable tool for you if you are looking to optimise your physical condition, enhance your athletic performance, and take care of your body for long-term success.

I take a holistic approach to this discipline, ie I take into account the whole picture of you, your lifestyle, occupation and history when considering your reasons for a sports massage.

Whether due to chronic states of unease, ongoing conditions or a one off injury or surgery, my treatments also reflect this holistic approach. For instance, I will treat your whole back, neck, shoulders if you come to me for a shoulder complaint as the presenting injury. In this way I work to support your whole being to improve the quality of your life/sport/activity.

There are so many benefits to Sports Massage

For your sports massage, I will use a range of specific soft tissue manipulation techniques such as NMT (neuromuscular technique), STR (soft tissue release), and CTM (connective tissue manipulation) to support recovery of your injury or condition.

My approach is that healing is systemic rather than an injury occurring in one place of your body on one occasion. There is always a back story! Even with an unexpected one off injury, this could be due to posture or training techniques for example. My aim is to help you restore balance within the body and so to avoid a repeat injury and/or improve the state of your body.

Clients request sports massage for a variety of reasons and often report feeling the benefits of the overall conversation around all aspects of their health, wellbeing and lifestyle.

Overall, sports massage can be a valuable addition to your discipline, whatever your sport or activity, providing physical, mental, and performance-related benefits.

FANTASTIC MASSAGE!

Had a massage after a long run and it was amazing. Prior to the massage Jan got to know a bit about me which enabled her to really tailor the massage on my legs. Definitely recommend.
