This type of massage therapy is designed to prevent and relieve pain and discomfort from injuries and conditions associated with exercise or sport. Popular activities such as personal fitness training, weight lifting and aerobics can all cause strains on your body's muscles and tissues.
This deeply therapeutic massage treatment is tailored to relieve and reduce those tensions. This type of treatment is not designed to be a relaxation therapy like Swedish massage and the techniques used can be quite vigorous.
Sports massage can be carried out before, during, or after playing sport or exercising. It utilises techniques that are designed to increase endurance and performance, minimise the risk of further injuries and reduce the recovery time for existing pain. This is one of our most popular booked treatments around the time of the London Marathon.
The techniques used in this type of massage are more focused and intensive than those used in deep tissue massage. If you are looking for deep relaxation over your whole body with meaningful pressure applied, then deep tissue therapy is appropriate. However, if you are seeking to fix a particular ailment or injury through remedial massage and soft tissue therapy then a sports massage therapist could be highly suitable.
