Why Choose Sports Massage at The Injury and Performance Clinic?
Our approach combines skilled hands-on techniques with a clear understanding of your personal goals and activity levels. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment, each session is tailored to what your body needs that day, whether that’s deep muscle release, gentle mobilisation, or addressing specific problem areas.
What to Expect in a Sports Massage Session
-
Every session begins with a chat about your current condition, lifestyle, and goals. We want to understand where you feel tightness, discomfort, or restrictions, and how your daily activities or training impact your body.
-
Using a variety of massage techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and deep tissue massage, we target muscles and connective tissues that need attention. The pressure and style will be adapted to your comfort and therapeutic needs.
-
After your session, we provide guidance on simple stretches, hydration, and recovery strategies to maximise the benefits of your massage and support your ongoing progress.
How Often Should You Have Sports Massage?
Frequency depends on your goals and activity level. Some athletes find weekly sessions beneficial during heavy training periods, while others might book monthly treatments to maintain muscle health. If you’re managing an injury or chronic tension, we’ll recommend a schedule that fits your needs.
