Pre and Post-event massage

A pre-event massage helps to warm up the muscles, increasing flexibility and reducing the risk of injury. I focus on the specific muscle groups that will be used during your event, ensuring your body is optimally primed for peak performance. This treatment not only prepares you physically but also calms your mind, allowing you to enter your event with confidence and a sense of readiness.

Following a sporting event, your body requires special attention to recover effectively. A post-event massage focuses on flushing out toxins and lactic acid that build up during physical activity. By promoting better circulation, this therapy aids in reducing muscle soreness and speeds up recovery time.

Rehabilitation massage

Rehabilitation massage is designed to help you recover from injuries by improving blood flow and encouraging the healing of damaged tissues. My approach involves assessing your injury and developing a customised treatment plan that focuses on promoting healing while restoring function. Combining deep tissue techniques with gentle stretches, I help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and increase mobility. This supportive approach ensures that you regain strength and functionality in a safe and effective manner, allowing you to return to your activities feeling stronger than before.

Trigger point therapy

Trigger point therapy targets specific tight areas within muscles, known as trigger points. These knots can cause discomfort and restrict your range of motion, often referred to as referred pain. My approach involves applying precise pressure to these trigger points, releasing tension, and restoring balance to the affected muscles. This technique is particularly beneficial for athletes looking to alleviate discomfort that arises from repetitive motions or overuse. By effectively addressing trigger points, I help you to achieve smoother movement and improved performance.

Myofascial release

Myofascial release is a gentle yet powerful technique that focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascial system of the body. The fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs, and when it becomes tight, it can limit movement and cause pain. In my sessions, I use slow, sustained pressure to free up fascia and restore pliability. This treatment is beneficial not only for easing discomfort but also for enhancing overall mobility and flexibility. Clients often experience lasting relief and improved function following myofascial release sessions.

Soft tissue mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization techniques are essential for restoring proper function in muscles and connective tissues. This approach involves using a combination of pressure and movement to alleviate restrictions and improve circulation. I employ these techniques to facilitate healing and enhance the body’s natural movement patterns. This treatment is particularly beneficial for athletes looking to optimise their performance by reducing discomfort and enhancing their range of motion. Each session is customised to target your specific areas of concern, ensuring effective results.

Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage is designed to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. By using firm pressure and slow strokes, this treatment helps to alleviate chronic tension and pain. I focus on problem areas that may be causing discomfort and work to break down adhesions and knots in the muscles. This technique can be particularly beneficial for athletes who train intensively and require deep relaxation and recovery. Clients often find relief from stiffness and improved mobility following deep tissue massage sessions.

Stretching techniques

Incorporating stretching techniques into your sports massage routine can significantly enhance your flexibility and range of motion. I focus on both static and dynamic stretching methods tailored to your individual needs and athletic goals. By addressing tight muscles, these techniques help to increase your overall performance and decrease the risk of injuries. Stretching can also aid in recovery post-exercise, allowing your muscles to relax and return to their optimal state. Through regular sessions, you’ll notice improved overall mobility and decreased muscle tightness.

Rehab strength training

Rehab strength training uses exercises to build muscle, restore function, and improve balance after an injury or period of inactivity. It involves a phased approach, starting with low resistance like resistance bands to improve range of motion and then progressing to free weights to gradually increase load and intensity as strength improves.
