Sports & Performance Massage
An active lifestyle places extra demands on your body.
Sports massage can support performance, recovery and mobility so you can keep doing the activities you enjoy.
If you’re training for an event, playing sport regularly or simply enjoy keeping active, Sports Massage can be a valuable part of looking after your body.
Is Sports Massage Right for You?
Sports massage is commonly used for:
- Training and competition preparation
- Recovery after exercise, sport or events
- Muscle tightness and soreness
- Heavy training periods or increased workload
- Improving flexibility and mobility
- Reducing injury risk
- Returning to activity after injury
- Ongoing maintenance for an active lifestyle
Training & Recovery
Sports Massage focuses treatment on the areas working hardest and taking the most strain.
Before sport or competition, treatment can be lighter and more stimulating to help prepare you. Afterwards, the focus shifts to easing soreness and supporting recovery.
Active stretching can be incorporated into the treatment to help improve mobility and target the muscles most involved in your sport or activity.
Performance & Maintenance
Regular Sports Massage between training sessions and events can help manage recurring muscle tension, maintain mobility and keep your body working well.
It can support recovery so you can get more from your training, while keeping on top of developing tightness and overload that may contribute to injury risk.
We can also suggest stretches, mobility work or strengthening exercises to complement your training between appointments.
I first came to Massage Works with a strain that was affecting my training. Sports massage became a valuable part of my recovery, and I now come in regularly for maintenance to stay on top of tightness and keep moving well. I always leave feeling looser, more mobile and ready to train harder.
