Your Questions About Sports Massage in Clapham Answered

Who should get a sports massage? Often incorporated into training plans for injury prevention and recovery, sports massage isn’t just for athletes. If you’ve been feeling stiff after the gym, working long hours at a desk, or dealing with lower back pain, sciatica or tension in your neck and shoulders, a sports massage can relieve that tension and restore your natural movement patterns.

What are the benefits of a Sports Massage? Unlike a spa massage, our sports massage utilises a combination of techniques, including deep tissue and soft-tissue manipulation, myofascial release, and sometimes dry-needling to increase blood flow, muscle recovery, flexibility and mobility.

The benefits of sports massage are numerous. It can help to improve circulation, increase range of motion, reduce muscle tension, and ease pain and inflammation. If you are looking for an effective way to enhance your athletic performance, consider adding sports massage to your routine.

What techniques are used in a Sports Massage? Our experienced sports therapists utilise a combination of techniques depending on your requirements. A massage may include deep tissue techniques, dry needling, cupping, joint mobilisation, joint manipulation, and taping to deliver targeted relief.

Are sports messages painful? A sports massage can feel intense, but your therapist will always check in to ensure the pressure is manageable. While minor bruising can occasionally occur due to deep tissue work, it’s a natural response as tight muscles and adhesions are released to promote healing.

When to do a sports massage? It depends on your injury or aims, but generally, we recommend a sports massage every 4-6 weeks for those looking to maintain optimum mobility and prevent injuries. This routine helps keep muscles flexible, eases tension before it becomes problematic, and supports overall muscle health. Regular sessions can also catch potential issues early, preventing them from developing into more serious injuries.

If you are struggling with pain or muscle tension, our Clapham sports therapists and physios are highly trained in advanced techniques and can work together to treat more persistent or stubborn issues like plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, and tennis elbow.
