Sports massage combines deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, active release and stretching to address the specific demands your body is under. Where a relaxation massage works at the surface, sports massage works through the layers - finding the restriction, addressing the cause and restoring the tissue to a state where it can actually recover and perform.
Every session is assessed and tailored. Your therapist will identify what your body is dealing with on that day and work accordingly - not following a generic sequence but responding to what they find.
What it can help with:
- Muscle tension, tightness and soreness that doesn't fully resolve between sessions
- Injury recovery and rehabilitation — returning tissue to full function
- Overuse conditions — Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff issues, ITB syndrome, tennis and golfer's elbow
- Postural imbalances from training patterns or desk work
- Restricted range of motion and flexibility
- Pre-event preparation — activating the muscles and preparing the body to perform
- Post-event recovery — clearing metabolic waste and restoring the tissue faster
- Chronic pain that hasn't responded to other treatment
