Sports Massage:

Sports massages are an excellent way to: 

• Prevention of sports injuries
• Maintain and improve the flexibility of your muscles as you train and play sport
• Relieve the stiffness in muscles which occur from over training
• Promotion of healing
• Reduce in the formation of excessive scar tissue following soft tissue injuries
• Optimise your sporting performance.Sports massages are deep tissue massages. This can be helpful for relieving knots which build up in your muscles from being over worked. Sports massage focus on the muscles which become over worked due to the type of sport which you are playing. We usually feel muscle stiffness after a long training session and in some cases this can be settled by stretching. However, if you feel that you have on going stiffness from sport it would be advisable to have a sports massage at the clinic with one of our physiotherapists who may be able to offer you further information about your concern. Your chartered physiotherapist can offer you advise post treatment as to appropriate stretches you may need to do to help alleviate stiffness post exercise. The more you maintain good flexibility and core strength the less likely you will suffer with post sport stiffness. So remember to stretch before you train!
