Sports Massage
Sports massages aren’t just for sports people. A sports massage can work for anyone that need to soothe, ease and mobilise a muscle at a deep level.
Sports massage, a proactive and targeted therapy performed by a trained massage therapist, osteopath or physiotherapist, is uniquely designed to meet the requirements of athletes and active individuals. It employs various techniques to prevent injury, enhance performance, and aid recovery, maintaining optimal physical and muscle condition.
Sports Massage FAQs
How does Sports Massage differ from Deep Tissue Massage?
While sports and deep tissue massage address muscle tension, the key difference lies in their focus. Sports massage is tailored to support athletic performance and recovery, often involving dynamic stretches and specific techniques aligned with your sporting requirements. In contrast, deep tissue massage relieves chronic muscle tension and knots, using deeper pressure manipulation techniques to reach the muscle and connective tissue sub-layer.
