Sports Massage

Sports Massage Treatments are ideal pre- and post- any sporting event - such as fun runs, marathons - or regular competitive sporting matches (rugby league, netball, basketball, tennis, AFL). Sports Massage Treatments reduce the likelihood of severe injury and speed recovery of any sprains, strains or muscular tightness or injury incurred during the game or event.

Sports Massage techniques are an extension of Remedial Massage Treatment protocols with an increased focus on:

• preparing the required muscles pre-match increasing their hydration & flexibility
• teaching you limbering stretches to warm-up and cool-down after activity
• may involve the use of special liniments to aid recovery should you have a sporting injury
• post-match treatments ease any tightness, reduce swelling, increase blood circulation to overused muscles, disperse toxins created by activity.

Sports Massage provides you a solid treatment, sometimes muscles feel like they have had a workout, but unlike the gym, with no threat of damage and with improved movement and flexibility in the days afterwards.

For best results use as part of your ongoing training program to identify & correct muscle use and strength imbalances straight away, preventing problems and injury during the game.

For acute injuries, it is imperative to come in before bruising and inflammation have fully expressed. Treatment in those critical hours (recommended within first two days post-injury) will reduce the amount of both bruising and inflammation and increase the body's capacity to heal faster, getting you back to your normal tasks much faster without long-term side-effects.

For areas which have been repeatedly injured or poorly treated at time of injury and therefore weakened, treatment will address the imbalances that have formed over time.

Contracted muscles are released and stretched, adhesions are worked on and scar tissue reduced. Muscles are flushed of toxins and imbalances in functioning between paired muscles (agonist and antagonist) are identified and corrective exercises and stretches given to remediate the problem.
