WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to relieve exercise-related aches and pain.
The name Sports Massage defines an overall approach to massage therapy, rather than something that's exclusively for sportsmen and women.
WHAT CAN A SPORTS MASSAGE SESSION HELP ME WITH?
Sports massage can:
Relieve excess muscle tension or soreness
Assist recovery from sports-related stress or injury
Offer relief to overworked / compensating areas from injury
Help with restricted range of motion
Stimulate mental alertness, brighter thinking and positive attitude
Help with mental and physical recovery
When suffering from acute injuries, in the case of muscle and tendon tears, or in the presence of acute inflammation; you should seek Physiotherapy treatment instead. At LDN PHYSIO, our Sports Massage sessions are delivered by trained Physiotherapists, so you can be confident that you're in safe hands and you will be informed in that case.
WHEN IS SPORTS MASSAGE NOT RECOMMENDED?
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Your therapist will discuss with you the main objectives of the massage so the session can be tailored to you and your goals, before performing a quick physical assessment.
Using deep but controlled pressure that promotes long term benefits, your therapist will promote lymph fluid and blood circulation along the key muscle groups that need relieving.
This will help improve your range of motion, reduce the development of scar tissue, and can provide mental and physical relaxation too.
Your therapist can also show you how to maintain the benefits of the session with key exercises to do at home or in the gym.
It's advisable to bring a pair of shorts and a vest top so we can access the body areas at play.
WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?
I'M FEMALE. CAN I REQUEST A FEMALE THERAPIST?
Of course. Simply choose one of our female therapists when booking or notify us via email after booking.
