 SPORTS MASSAGE IN RICHMOND

SPORTS MASSAGE RICHMOND

Sports Massage is a type of massage therapy for joints and their soft tissue attachments. It is focused on easing muscle tension, improving circulation, aiding injury recovery and promoting relaxation.

Athletes and individuals with an active lifestyle will often receive Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy as part of their training activity to keep them performing at their optimum. The massage can help to speed up the recovery time between exercise sessions, improve performance and help to manage injuries. However, Sports Massage is not limited to only sports enthusiasts and athletes! Anyone can benefit from this type of deeper muscle tissue massage, regardless of age, gender or fitness ability.

Sitting at a desk can also cause muscular tension. Regular treatment can help ease the discomfort caused by the tension in your neck and back before you begin to suffer on-going pain. Our practitioners are committed to enhancing your well-being, whether you’re an athlete striving for peak performance, an active individual or someone dealing with the aches and pains associated with day-to-day life – or a combination of all three!

Treatment might involve a range of techniques depending on your presenting complaint.  This could include deep tissue massage, myofascial release (which works on the connective tissue around the muscles), muscle energy techniques (assisted stretching), passive stretches and trigger point therapy.

Tight muscles can emit pain sensations when worked on, so your practitioner will work with you to ensure that the pressure they are using is comfortable for you. It should never be a case of no pain, no gain – believe it or not Sports Massage should feel like a comfortable experience!

There are a several types of Sports Massage offered depending on what you require.

 

  • Pre-event Massage prepares the body for physical activity, enhancing flexibility, and optimising performance for an upcoming sporting event. This type of treatment can be received from 48 hours prior to your event and would be aimed at improving performance. This means lighter techniques would be used.

  • Post-Event Massage is aimed at supporting and speeding up recovery following a sporting event by reducing muscle soreness, improving circulation to remove toxin build up, minimising delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and promoting relaxation. Post event massage can be offered any time from the end of the event up to 48 hours after but would involve lighter techniques to aid recovery.

  • Injury-Specific Massage targets areas of pain or discomfort, alleviate symptoms and accelerate the healing process.

 

  • Maintenance Massage involves regular treatments to prevent injuries, enhance flexibility, and improve mobility and function. We would recommend this type of treatment at least 48 hours post event.

CONDITIONS SPORTS MASSAGE CAN HELP WITH

  • Muscle Strains and Sprains- alleviates pain and promotes healing in strained or sprained muscles.
  • Overuse Injuries- helps prevent and treat injuries resulting from repetitive motion or overtraining.
  • Stress and Anxiety- promotes relaxation, reduces stress hormones, and enhances overall well-being.
  • Range of Motion- addresses tightness and stiffness in the muscles, improving your range of motion.
  • Postural Issues- improves posture and discomfort associated with poor posture.
  • Post- surgery- supports the recovery process by reducing scar tissue, improving circulation, and enhancing mobility.
  • Joint Pain- eases discomfort associated with joint issues by promoting better muscle function.

While Sports Massage is tailored to the needs of athletes, its benefits extend to those with desk-based occupations or anyone experiencing the strains of daily life. If you spend long hours at a desk, sports massage can help to relieve tension and stiffness from prolonged sitting, improve posture by addressing muscle imbalances and alleviate neck and shoulder pain associated with desk work.

TESTIMONIALS

What a relief to find someone who is a very skilled practitioner in Reflexology and offers a treatment that is so much more than just a foot massage. My sessions with Giuliana have proved to be an excellent investment in my well-being. They have alleviated stress and guaranteed a good night’s sleep

Belinda

Naomi is a really lovely massage therapist who instantly puts you at ease. She understood my aches and pains and remembered them on subsequent visits. Naomi gave me some great tips as to how to work on my specific problem areas (tight ham strings and hip flexors) and after a massage session with her my legs felt so much lighter!

F. G.

Great sports massage, just enough pressure to be therapeutic without being overly painful. My muscles feel much looser and less painful afterwards. I will definitely rebook for another massage.
