What is Sports and Remedial Massage?
Sports and Remedial (S&R) Massage is a hands-on therapy that combines deep tissue techniques, stretching, and mobilisation to assess, prevent, and treat muscle and joint issues. It aims to relieve tension in the soft tissues of our bodies including muscles, fascia and tendons.
S&R massage can help to reduce recovery time, relieve pain and enhance posture & mobility. Your S&R Massage Therapists will use their knowledge of anatomy and fitness to assess injuries and provide remedial exercises & advice to support recovery.
S&R Massage has many benefits for those who are involved in sports and fitness at any level. If you are a regular at the gym, a runner, a cyclist or involved in any sports, S&R massage is a great way to enhance your sporting performance as it can improve circulation, release tight muscles, restore healthy movement, and support faster recovery. Furthermore S&R Massage can also have a great calming and de-stressing effect which is excellent for mental strength and performance.

How your appointment will look
Your S&R massage therapist will greet you and take you into the consultation room. They will begin by discussing your symptoms, activity levels, movement types and any specific problem areas that you would like to focus on. They will carry out a brief assessment of your posture, movement, and areas of discomfort before starting treatment.
During your session, your therapist will apply techniques suited to your goals and comfort, with pressure adjusted to your tolerance. They may also include stretching or mobility work if appropriate.
Your session will conclude with your S&R massage therapist providing advice on aftercare, simple stretches, and recommendations for follow-up sessions. This will depend on if your focus is for recovery, maintenance, or performance support.
