IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OR REDUCE PAIN/DISCOMFORT

Whether an elite athlete or a ‘weekend warrior’ sports massage can provide enormous benefits to those wishing to improve performance or reduce pain/discomfort.



At Performance Physiotherapy our Physiotherapists utilise sports massage in a number of ways to help our patients both physically and mentally.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BENEFITS OF SPORTS MASSAGE INCLUDE:

  • PROMOTING RECOVERY

    Sports massage focuses is believed to have beneficial effects on enhancing blood circulation, which aids in the removal of metabolic waste products such as lactic acid. By potentially improving circulation and reducing perceived muscle soreness, sports massage helps enable faster recovery from sport/physical activity.

  • ALLEVIATE MUSCLE TENSION AND PAIN

    Intense physical activity often leads to muscle tension and discomfort. Sports massage utilizes deep tissue techniques to target specific muscle groups and alleviate tension and pain. By reducing muscle tightness/pain and improving overall muscle function, athletes/patients can experience enhanced performance and an increased ability to train at higher intensities.

  • PYSCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS

    Engaging in sports can be physically and mentally demanding. Sports massage not only benefits the body but also the mind. The relaxation and stress reduction achieved through massage can help athletes manage anxiety, improve focus, and promote a positive mindset. By relieving mental stress, sports massage can contribute to enhanced athletic performance.
