Sports Massage FAQs

What is a sports massage?

Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed for athletes and active individuals. It uses a range of techniques: including deep tissue work, stretching, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, to prepare the body for activity, aid recovery, and treat sports-related injuries.

How painful is a sports massage?

It depends on your pain threshold and the extent of your injury and muscle stress. You’re likely to feel discomfort during and after your massage, but not to the degree that you start to tense up in order to take the pain. Your massage therapist should tailor their technique to work within your pain threshold.

What are the different types of sports massages?

There are four main types of sports massage: Pre-event – given 15-45 minutes before an activity, a pre-event sports massage focuses on the areas of your body that are most likely to be exerted during the activity. Post-event – given up to two hours after an activity to help it help myofascial release. Restorative – aims to prevent injury and enable intensive training in the lead-up to an sports event you are training for. Rehabilitative – aims to reduce tissue inflammation following an injury.

What are the benefits of sports massage?

Sports massage reduces muscle soreness and DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), improves flexibility and range of motion, speeds recovery between training sessions, prevents injury, breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, and enhances athletic performance when used regularly.

Stay match-fit with a professional sports massage. Whether you’re a gym bunny or a team player, a sports massage can keep you in tip-top condition.
