What It Is
Sports massage is a hands-on treatment that works with the muscles and soft tissues to help relieve tension, improve comfort, and support recovery. It is not only for athletes. Anyone can benefit from sports massage, whether they are active in sport, have a physically demanding job, or simply want to ease everyday muscle tightness.
Common reasons for sports massage
Sports massage can be helpful for:
- Muscle tension and stiffness
- Recovery after training, competition, or physical activity
- Reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Supporting mobility and flexibility
- Relieving discomfort linked to repetitive movements
- Preparing muscles for activity
What to expect
Your therapist will begin by asking about your health, activity levels, and any problem areas. The massage is tailored to your needs, with pressure and techniques adjusted to suit you. Sports massage may involve deeper techniques than relaxation massage, focusing on specific muscles or areas that need attention. Sessions can be part of ongoing training support, post injury rehabilitation, or general wellbeing care.
