Contrary to hearsay, sports massage should not hurt! Forget “No Pain, No Gain” This indicates that sports massage is a one-trick pony. But it can have many outcomes; relaxation, recovery facilitation; injury prevention, and performance enhancement. Improvement to a range of motion, pain levels, and a positive mindset can be instant!
Testing to find the root cause of your injury is paramount. It’s not enough to just stick a Band-Aid over the painful area, a full examination of your range of motion, strength, and joint movements will be carried out during your assessment to determine why the injury occurred.
Acupuncture for Sports Massage
Traditional Chinese Medicine is much more than treating pain, it is all-encompassing and looks at the body from a completely different aspect. Incorporating acupuncture in your treatment will not only enhance the effect on your troubled area but also promote a nice even flow of energy throughout your body. At the injury site, it gives pain relief, increases circulation, and makes positive changes to the presenting injury.
Using video footage, we will be able to identify any underlying causes that can range from your feet through your spine and up to the shoulders. We can analyse your gait in detail, frame by frame, examine postural patterns, show you how to improve your running, and help move you forward efficiently.
You can experience a soothing, relaxing massage throughout the second and third trimester of your pregnancy. It’s a welcome form of therapy for back pain when medicines and pain relief can be limited. You’ll be positioned comfortably on your side and treated with the utmost care, so Mum and baby can have their “me-time”.
Focusing on the deep muscles relieves tension that is chronic and hard to shift with other means. A combination of trigger point work and Swedish massage encourages muscles to break down and regain a healthy blood flow. This helps reduce stress and leaves you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
Usually combined with other soft tissue treatments, taping will help calm the body's natural inflammatory response. Applied correctly, it will assist the lymphatic drainage of an area of tissue by microscopically lifting the skin and reducing the pressure caused by swelling. Unlike zinc tape, which is designed to stabilise the area it is applied to, K-tape encourages normal movement patterns and increases confidence to use the joint or muscle naturally.
Because some of us just want a plan to follow, but others need a careful step-by-step approach to rehabilitate an injury, all programs are written for you as an individual. You can be assured of personal attention when it comes to designing your program, checking your form and answering your queries.
Electrotherapy involves a range of treatments using electricity to reduce pain, improve circulation, aid tissue repair and promote muscle repair. The most common form of this is TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and acts as an alternative to taking medicine for pain.
