Aiding muscles that have been overused or experienced recurring injury and helps to relieve muscle tightness and pain.

WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?

Sports Massage is a specific approach to massage therapy. It is tailored to suit individuals who are regularly engaged in strenuous exercise, health and fitness or athletic endeavours. It focuses on techniques which promote effective recovery and decrease recovery times, enhance performance and reduce the risks of injury that come with strenuous physical exertion. Sports Massage is suitable for both before and after athletic performance, and can be an extremely effective component of a warmup or cooldown for competitive athletes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Sports Massage has been recognised as an important part of athletic excellence since the earliest days of organised competition in ancient Greece and Rome. Thanks to modern scientific enquiry, we now have good evidence to support that Sports Massage may:

• Increase blood flow and raise muscle temperature.
• Decrease pain, swelling and muscle tension.
• Break down muscle adhesions and scar tissue.
• Provide “prehabilitation” or decreased risk of injury during exercise.
• Increase exercise performance.
• Decrease recovery times and improve recovery.
• Reduce pre-performance stress and anxiety.

IS SPORTS MASSAGE RIGHT FOR ME?

Sports Massage is suitable for everyone of all levels of physical activity. Regular sports massage will be an immense benefit to those who are pushing themselves physically and are looking for the best massage to prevent injury as well as improve performance and recovery.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MASSAGE LAND?

As the highest-rated massage therapist in Tamworth, we pride ourselves on giving you the treatment you need so you can perform at your absolute best.

A Sports Massage treatment is highly variable depending upon the sport-specific needs of the individual patient. For example, a long distance runner will have significantly different needs to a strongman and will enjoy a very different session. A session before a big game will be very different to the session after, and so on. There is always a focus on warming the muscles and increasing blood flow to aid performance and recovery, and a range of techniques will be used to achieve this goal while simultaneously addressing any pain, tension, spasms or cramping that may arise due to exercise.

We have offered Sports Massage to all sorts of athletes, from marathon runners to rugby players, bodybuilders to martial artists, and everything in between – no matter what your passion is, we can help you excel!
