Invigorating and essential. If you exercise very little or a lot, sports massage can benefit anyone. This treatment uses quick strokes to warm up the muscles, deep applied pressure to release the muscle fibres and then assisted stretching to loosen the body. It is a common misconception that a sports massage should be painful, a massage should feel wonderful - and that’s what that’ll do! The perfect massage for a tired, stiff or injured body. You’ll leave feeling energised and recharged.

What is Sports Massage?
Specifically tailored to athletes, individuals who engage in intense physical activity, or those who are experiencing issues from an accident, sports massage incorporates techniques from a range of massage styles to provide a deep, rehabilitative process that manipulates soft tissue to prevent injury, aid in the recovery of an injury, or alleviate any stress the muscles are holding onto.
Unlike more relaxing massage therapies such as hot stone massage and Swedish massage, sports massage focuses on specific areas of the body that are causing issues.
Benefits of Sports Massage
From supporting an active body to targeting injuries, sports massage is a preventative and restorative treatment for those who live an active lifestyle. Here are just some of the incredible benefits sports massage provides:
- Provides an increased range of motion by keeping the joints and muscles flexible.
- Eliminates the build-up of lactic acid which causes discomfort (cramps, nausea weakness etc.) from exercising.
- Leaves you feeling calm with reduced anxiety and tension as the movements release endorphins.
- Prevents injury by keeping your muscles, tendons, and tissues in peak condition.
- Aids in recovery by stimulating blood flow to the affected areas.
- Reduces aching muscles and joint stiffness from exercise.
