Sports massage is a hands-on treatment that works on the muscles and soft tissues of the body. It can help reduce tension, improve circulation, ease stiffness, and support recovery after activity.
It is not only for athletes. Many people book sports massage because of gym training, running, desk work, repetitive strain, or everyday physical stress.
Your appointment is focused on helping you feel looser, more comfortable, and better able to move. We target the areas that feel overworked or restricted and use massage techniques that match your needs and tolerance.
Used for Treating Injuries, Supporting weak zones, Re-educating muscles, Enhancing Performance and Managing Scars.
Sports massage helps reduce the swelling caused by microtraumas; loosens tired, stiff muscles; helps maintain flexibility; promotes blood flow to the muscle to remove lactic acid and waste build-up; and reduces cramping.
A sports massage, also known as sports therapy, is an aspect of healthcare that is specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to full function, whether that be in sports or their everyday life.
We do this by providing a range of manual therapies and rehabilitation programmes to suit everyone's needs!
Skilled passive movements of joints to increase range of motion. Joint mobilisations are beneficial where there is pain and tightness present, it helps by increasing circulation and tissue elasticity.

Depending on the type of injury you have sustained, your programme will include a number of parts which may include strengthening exercises, mobilising, pain relief techniques and functional skills.
We use MLS® Class 4 laser therapy to reduce pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.
Patients can see improvements from the first treatment. In conditions where muscle spasm and contracture is present, laser therapy enables you to give manual treatments more easily.
Low level laser therapy involves using an infra-red spectrum which penetrates the skin and stimulates the cells within muscles, tendons or ligaments, all of which facilitates healing and normal cell function.
