Sports Massage

Sports massage is a treatment that is tailored to suit anyone needs, therefore you don’t have to be an athlete to require one. If you suffer from posture related tension, which a lot of us do, you would benefit just as much as an athlete would.

Sports massage is all about prevention and keeping you either training or working pain free. A sports massage session is about the patient and the therapist working together. You come in and describe where your “niggles” or pain is and we will treat those areas as well as some of the surrounding muscles, because a lot of times the area that is painful isn’t necessarily the area that is the problem.

If we feel that you have other underlying reasons for your pain we will refer you on to a specific physiotherapist that is best qualified to treat your injury. At The Body Clinic, we work as a team and our ethos is to get you better be that with a Sports Massage Therapist or a Physiotherapist, whichever will be the most applicable to your particular issue.

The main benefits of sports massage are:

• Increases the effectiveness of recovery from heavy training.
• Our experienced hands can identify your specific areas of vulnerability for you to focus on (eg. With mobility, flexibility or strength)
• Lets you put in hard training back to back.
• Important concerning injury prevention and catching issues early, this applies to everyone not just your elite athlete.
• Helps with posture pain and reducing it.
• Creates a feeling of well-being in the body.
