Reflex Sports and Remedial Therapy
How can sports massage benefit me?
Regular sports massage can help prevent injuries in athletes, at all levels of competition. The stress on all the internal structures such as ligaments, muscles and tendons during exercise can lead to tension build-up which can be controlled and prevented with sports massage.Sports massage can help realign muscle fibres to enable optimum performance and maintain an overall greater physical state. It is also argued that sports massage increases your metabolism and breaks up adipose deposits around the body, aiding in weight loss.
What can I expect on my first visit?
On the first visit it is important to explore any aches and pains to get an idea of the overall condition and type of injury. This allows the Sports Therapist to tailor a session exactly to your needs.
For some sessions it may be necessary to remove some clothing to enable the therapist to gain the best possible access to the injured area. In general shorts and a vest-top are perfect for the sessions. Dignity will be totally maintained during each session.
Sports massage can be deemed uncomfortable but should never be painful. If you feel that the massage is painful, let the therapist know and the massage will be adapted.
How long will it take?
A sports massage session typically lasts for either 30 minutes or 60 minutes. For your first visit it is advised to have a 60 minute session as some time will be spent exploring the injury and tailoring the session exactly to your needs and desires. Every session will be conducted to suit your own best interests.
If you do not feel the massage therapy is proving successful over a course of massage then the therapist will aim to discuss future treatments and what the next best course of action is. As a guide a course of treatment is 4-6 sessions at 1 session per week.
