Sports massage Lewisham

Sports massage falls into three categories:

  • Pre-event sports massage. This is a short, stimulating massage administered 30-45 minutes before the event
  • Post-event sports massage. This is a restorative massage administered 1-2 hours after the sporting event, with the aim of relaxing the body’s tissues and returning them from an exerted state back to normal.
  • Rehabilitative sports massage. This type of sports massage is administered outside of immediate training hours. Its purpose is to alleviate any pain arising from injury and return the body to optimum health and performance levels.

What is it?

Sports massage was developed with three functions in mind: to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, to help them recover after a big event, and simply to enable them function well during training.

Contrary to what the name suggests, you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage; roundly speaking, sports massage can be beneficial for anyone with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion, its simple aim being to prevent and heal injuries to muscles and tendons.

Problems acupuncture therapy can help

  • chronic pain
  • frozen shoulder
  • ‘knotted’ areas in the body, especially if they are large or have been present for a while
  • muscle tension
  • pulled hamstring
  • restricted range of motion
  • runner’s knee
  • any other injuries in general

Сontraindications

While a sports massage can be slightly uncomfortable at times, this discomfort should never reach unbearable levels. Clients are encouraged to speak up and let the masseuse know if, at any point, the massage becomes too painful.

Additionally, due to the nature of the massage, sports massage is best avoided if you are suffering from:

  • open wounds
  • varicose veins
  • thrombosis
  • tumours
  • melanoma
  • haemophilia
  • infectious skin diseases

We provide our massage services in Lewisham. However, for our clients we do mobile massage treatments all across London and surrounding areas.
