Sports & Injury Massage Therapy

Sports & Injury Massage Therapy

Sports and injury massage therapy uses targeted techniques to address muscle tension, pain, restricted movement caused by sports activities, repetitive strain injuries and general injuries from the stresses of everyday life. The treatment can help reduce muscle soreness, improve flexibility, break down scar tissue and support recovery from both acute injuries and chronic conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I combine numerous techniques to help lengthen muscles, improve movement and flexibility and rehabilitation techniques to create personalised treatment plans that address your specific concerns.

Treatments & Techniques

Treatment begins with an assessment of your condition, a postural assesment, movement patterns and discuss your pain levels to identify problem areas.

I use hands-on techniques including deep tissue massage, remedial massage, myofascial release, soft tissue release and stretching, adjusting pressure and methods based on your needs and tolerance.

Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, and whilst some techniques can be uncomfortable when working on tight or injured areas, communication throughout ensures the treatment remains effective yet manageable.

Aftercare

You may experience some muscle soreness for 24-48 hours after treatment, particularly if deep tissue work was involved. This is a normal response as your body adjusts and should ease as muscles relax and recover. Some people notice slight bruising in areas where deeper work was required, and you might feel tired as your body processes the treatment.
