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.

Who Benefits from Sports Massage?

Athletes and sports enthusiasts - Whether you run, cycle, lift or play team sports, sports massage can help reduce muscular soreness and leave you feeling ready for the next session. 

Individuals with chronic muscle tension or discomfort - If you spend long hours sitting, standing, or in repetitive motion, massage can help ease built-up tightness.

Those recovering from injury - Massage supports can support recovery by reducing discomfort and giving more freedom and confidence in movement.

Anyone wanting to feel better in their body - Even without an injury, regular massage can reduce stress, help you move more freely and reduce muscular tension.

Benefits of Sports Massage at The Injury & Performance Clinic

  • Improved muscle flexibility and joint range of motion - Massage helps muscles relax and elongate, making movement smoother and less restricted.

  • Faster recovery from exercise or injury - By encouraging blood flow and helping to clear metabolic waste from muscles, massage aids in quicker tissue repair.

  • Reduced muscle soreness and stiffness - Regular treatment can lessen the delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that follows intense physical activity.

  • Readiness for athletic performance - When muscles feel less sore and more well-maintained, you will have more confidence in training and move more efficiently.

  • Stress relief and relaxation - Beyond the physical benefits, massage promotes a sense of calm and helps reduce mental tension that can contribute to muscle tightness.
