What are the benefits of Sports Massage?
Because of its name you might think that sports massage is only appropriate for professional sportspeople. But this is not the case. Of course these kinds of massage are well-suited if you take part in sports regularly, but they are equally beneficial even if you aren't the most active.
Benefits of our deep tissue sports massage include:
-
Helps with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) - sports massage promotes blood and lymph flow throughout the body. This means after exercise or strenuous activity you won't experience soreness from muscle fatigue.
-
Stress Release - when getting a sports massage, your body releases endorphins. Endorphins are a natural pain reliever, reduce anxiety and help boost mood.
-
Improving Tissue Elasticity - deep tissue massage stretches out tissues. So muscles become less hard and so less prone to injury.
Although it's more geared towards treatment of muscle tightness and soreness than regular massage, it is still relaxing. Feeling a bit knotty? Why not give it a go?

I was referred to Mike after an RTC for Physio, I could not have asked for better treatment. Flexible appointments, a home exercise program and a Physio with great knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend, and can't thank Mike enough for his help in my recovery.
