If you do regular physical exercises, you may experience a repeated soreness or pain in some of the muscles, ligaments or supporting structures of your musculature. Doing any kind of repetitive activity can cause chronic and structural problems over time.

Why sports massage?

Sports massage can help you ease soreness and pain caused by exercise and repetitive activities. Massage helps your body’s natural defences to heal itself by helping to improve blood flow to areas that feel soreness, pain and discomfort.

Contrary to its name, you can treat any type of muscle pain and non-sports related soreness with sports massage. It can be very useful in treating strain and discomfort from repetitive activities, such as those experienced while working at a desk. Many of the patients we treat with sports massage at Physio Medicine have strain caused by working at a computer or from bad posture.

Long-term benefits of massage

While sports massage can be great at dealing with acute conditions such as muscle strain caused by overexerting yourself at the gym, it can be particularly useful in managing and improving chronic conditions such as back pain, carpel tunnel syndrome and Scheuermann’s disease.

Repeated stress or over-strained muscles can lead to torn ligaments and tendons. It is always better prevent injuries from occurring. This is where regular sports massage can be a great addition to your fitness regimen by helping you alleviate these symptoms before they can become major problems. With regular massage your muscles will have regular and adequate blood flow and your tendons will be stronger and more flexible. This can go a long way to help you prevent injuries and stay healthier for longer.

Regular sports massage can be a great addition to your healthy lifestyle.

Sports massage to boost your performance

One of the main reasons why sportsmen and sportswomen get regular massage is because it helps them to boost their sports performance. Sports massage helps you get more out of the musculature you already have by boosting your blood flow to muscles and improving flexibility.

Try having regular sports massage as part of your fitness or sports regimen and see for yourself how you can achieve better results physically.

Sports massage for rehabilitation

If you have injured a muscle or ligament and you want to heal faster and better, sports massage is a great addition to your rehabilitation programme.

While different injuries can take different times to heal - and depending on the severity of the injury may never completely heal to its original health - you can use massage to improve your chances of getting better. Our patients regularly tell us that massage helps them to reduce their pain and speed up their recovery
