Transform Your Life with better life remedial massage clinic

A sports massage uses a mixture of techniques depending on the issues you are hoping to combat and any pain you are experiencing. Popular among athletes and those who live an active lifestyle, sports massage can be tailored according to the exercise that you do, or the muscle groups you use most often – though it is also a suitable and effective treatment for those experiencing joint pain and muscle tightness on a day to day basis.

Sports massage is a method of rehabilitation for those suffering from chronic pain, as well as a preventative and restorative treatment for those who undergo intense exercise. In short, it uses deep strokes to manipulate and work the muscles and tissues in the body – flushing out lactic acids and ensuring a quality and seamless blood supply to the tissues.

Beneficial to both athletes and those fast approaching their older years, sports massage helps to keep the joints flexible and the muscles active and well-oiled – increasing your overall range of motion and making everyday movement easier.

Contrary to popular belief, sports massage is not just for athletes – and it is not just for the benefits of physical activity. Through its deliberate motions and deep massage techniques, a sports massage can also exude a sense of calm, reducing anxiety and tension, and relaxing the muscles so that they are free to release endorphins.

We are big believers in injury prevention being better than cure. Sports massage before workkout and post-workout is a way of helping to prevent injury as well as rehabilitate and treat it. When you receive a sports massage, you are helping to keep your muscles, tendons, and tissues in peak condition – working them through an optimised range of motion and keeping them warm and pliable. This means that any activity, from an intense workout to everyday lifting, is less likely to cause injury.

If you experience an injury, have regular joint pain or have reduced mobility, a sports massage is a great way to aid recovery. Sports massage techniques help stimulate and increase blood flow to the affected joints and muscles which can help aid recovery.

A benefit that’s heralded by every clients is that sports massage helps to reduce aching muscles and joint stiffness which is why it’s often included as part of rehabilitation following serious injury as well as post-sports recovery.
