Sports Massage
Sports Massage
Sports massage can be a useful way of managing muscle tightness, stiffness and the physical demands of regular exercise.
Feel better. Move better. Keep doing what you enjoy.
Whether you run, go to the gym, play sport or simply lead an active lifestyle, sports massage can be used to help you feel more comfortable and move more freely.
At Midlands Physio, we’ll tailor the treatment to you and what you're hoping to get from it.
How can sports massage help?
Sports massage may be useful if you're experiencing:
- Muscle tightness or stiffness
- General muscular soreness
- Areas that feel restricted after training
- Muscle tension affecting your movement
- Soreness following increased training or activity
- The physical demands of regular running, gym work or sport
It can also be useful as part of your normal training and recovery routine.
Sports massage isn't about simply finding the most painful area and working on it. We'll consider what you're doing, where you're feeling tight or uncomfortable and how you'd like to feel after the treatment.
What can you expect?
Before your massage, we'll discuss what you've been doing, how you're feeling and any areas you'd like us to focus on.
We’ll then tailor the treatment to your needs, using a combination of massage techniques depending on what is appropriate.
The pressure can be adjusted throughout the session. Sports massage doesn't need to be painful to be effective.
Afterwards, we’ll give you any relevant advice about exercise, recovery or what you can do between sessions.
Sports massage or physiotherapy?
Sports massage is primarily focused on hands-on treatment for muscle tightness, stiffness and general recovery.
If you're experiencing pain, an injury or a problem that is affecting your ability to exercise or move normally, a physiotherapy assessment may be more appropriate.
If you're unsure which service you need, get in touch and we can help you decide.
Who is sports massage suitable for?
You don't have to be a competitive athlete to benefit from sports massage.
We work with people who run, go to the gym, play sport and exercise regularly, as well as those who simply feel that their muscles are tight or stiff after everyday activities.
Whether you're preparing for an event, recovering after training or just want to keep moving comfortably, treatment can be tailored to your needs.
