Sports massage

  • What is a Sports Massage?

    Our sports massages consist of multiple techniques which are tailored to your affected muscle groups, based on the sport that you do.

    If you have a race coming up or you’re deep into a training block, then a lighter massage will be more appropriate.

    If you are in between events and have specific issues, your sessions will focus on deep-tissue massages in problem areas.

  • Why have a sports massage?

    Post-Race Recovery

    Massage can help speed up the healing and recovery process after an intense race by flushing waste fluids such as lactic acid from the muscles.

    Injury Prevention

    Many sporting injuries occur through overusing certain muscles. This can result in soreness, pain and inflammation. Regularly scheduled sports massages can help reduce the likelihood of the muscles becoming overused, and help reduce the initial inflammation that leads to injury. Massage is most effective at treating soft-tissues injuries such as strains, sprains and stress injuries commonly found in sport.

  • How often to have a sports massage?

    On average, an athlete should get one massage per week or a minimum of one per month. That may seem extreme but massages make a massive difference in helping prevent injury.

    People respond in different ways to a massage, so it may be beneficial to try one at different times in your training schedule to determine what is right for you. The majority of people will favour a massage after a race or key workout. Massages can also take place before races or key sessions. Pre-race massage will stimulate your muscles whereas the post-race massage is more of a cool-down/recovery massage.
