What is Sports Massage Therapy?

Sports massage physiotherapy is a specialised form of recovery programme that targets soft tissues to support athletic performance, aid in recovery, and manage muscle tension for active individuals and athletes.

How Does Sports Massage Differ from Spa Massage?

A spa massage primarily aims for general relaxation. In contrast, what we offer at The Physio Circle is a clinical sports massage. This service is provided by a licensed physiotherapist who assesses and treats specific muscle groups. The goal is to enhance athletic performance, support recovery, and address injuries by integrating therapeutic techniques with a deep understanding of biomechanics.

When to Get a Sports Massage?

Before a Major Competition

Visiting a licensed sports massage physiotherapist before a competition may help to improve circulation and flexibility. This could potentially warm up muscles and minimise injuries, preparing your body for a major workout.

After Intense Exercise

A sports massage after intense exercise or a competition may help reduce muscle soreness and stiffness. It supports the body’s natural recovery process, helping you bounce back faster.

During Regular Training

Incorporating sports massage into your regular training schedule can help manage muscle tension and identify potential issues early. This aids in consistent performance and prevents minor concerns from escalating.

For Maintaining an Active Lifestyle

For active individuals, physio sports massage sessions every few weeks can help relieve muscle tightness and discomfort. It supports your overall well-being, keeping you mobile and pain-free in your daily life.

Common Issues Addressed with Sports Massage

1. Muscle Strains and Pulls

A sports massage may support recovery from muscle strains by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension and relieving pain.

2. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

Increasing blood flow to affected muscles can help to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort associated with DOMS.

3. Tight Muscles

Sports massage physiotherapy uses deep pressure and stretching to help release muscle tension, potentially improving flexibility and alleviating tightness – whether in your hamstrings, calves, or shoulders.

4. Upper Back and Neck Tension

Professional sports massage physiotherapists may help those with sedentary jobs relieve muscle knots and tension, by improving posture.

5. Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain

By addressing tension in the calves and plantar fascia, sports massage may help to manage pain and improve foot mobility.

6. Joint Inflammation and Stiffness

Sports massage sessions may support blood circulation around joints, potentially reducing inflammation and improving the range of motion and overall mobility.

7. Tendinopathy

Sports massage alleviates tension in the surrounding muscles and tissues, which helps to manage pain and tenderness in inflamed tendons.

8. Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)

By addressing tightness in the hip and thigh muscles, sports massage helps relieve lateral knee irritation associated with ITBS and supports functional recovery.

9. Scar Tissue and Adhesions

Sports massage may assist in gradually breaking down scar tissues and adhesions, improving tissue elasticity and restoring normal function.

10. Post-fracture Stiffness

Sports massage and physio sessions can alleviate muscle tightness around the affected area, as well as improve range of motion and speed up recovery.

Is Sports Massage Helpful?

  • Assists Recovery and Reduces Muscle Soreness: Helps reduce post-exercise muscle soreness and supports recovery by calming the nervous system and modulating post-training inflammation.
  • Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion: Can temporarily improve flexibility and joint range of motion by reducing muscle tone and improving tolerance to movement.
  • Relieves Muscle Tightness and Pain: Helps decrease muscle pain and feelings of tightness through targeted hands-on techniques that modulate pain and improve comfort during movement.
  • Supports Movement Quality and Training Readiness: While it does not directly increase strength or power, sports massage can help improve movement comfort and readiness to train by reducing pain and excessive muscle tension.
  • Improves Muscle Strength and Performance: By reducing muscle tension, sports massage physiotherapy allows for more effective muscle contractions and improved overall power output.
  • Supports Mental Relaxation and Mood: Sports massage reduces stress by physically relieving muscle tension, which supports the release of endorphins, and promotes a sense of wellbeing.
  • Pairs Well with Other Programmes: It works best as part of a comprehensive programme with strength and conditioning, or other wellness programmes.
  • Benefits Depends on Massage and Timing: When you schedule your sports massage and the techniques used makes a difference. Talk to your physiotherapist about whether a pre-event, post-event or maintenance session is better for supporting your goals.
