Jake Johnson | Sports Therapist  in Wakefield | Fresha

Sports massage often involves a fast-paced massage, stretching and other approaches, depending upon the sport in which you participate or where your pain is (remember though, you don’t have to be a regular sports athlete to have a sports massage). It can be tailored to be used as a pre-workout stretch and opportunity to warm up the muscles or used as a post-workout massage designed to reduce soreness and increase flexibility.

A session includes direct compression to the soft tissue, picking up and squeezing the skin and muscle, rubbing, compression, and cross-fibre friction to the problem area. This type of massage sometimes it’s the most relaxing due to getting deep into the muscle, however I will only go as deep as the client is comfortable. 

Benefits:
Increase joint flexibility
Increases blood flow
Reduction in anxiety 
Decrease muscle tension
Relax nerves
Decrease muscle spasms
Decreases chance of injury
Decreases recovery time
Breaks down scar tissue

It’s a device that uses gravity to circulate ice cold water providing cold therapy in the treatment of injuries. Using thermal insulation enhanced technology, it reduces cooling loss and prevents heat entering the system, staying colder for longer. 

The intermittent compression system is clinically proven to help reduce post-operative/injury swellings and regain range of movment via compression and cold therapy.  

Cyro Therapy is effective at reducing pain and swelling because the cold constricts blood vessels and decreases circulation to the area.

Injury assessment and treatment involves a thorough evaluation of physical injuries to determine their type, severity, and underlying causes, followed by an appropriate treatment plan tailored to support recovery and restore function. This process typically includes a detailed history of the injury, physical examination, and functional testing to assess range of motion, strength, and pain response. 

Whether it's an acute injury like a sprain or a chronic condition such as tendonitis, injury assessment and treatment ensures a personalized and evidence-based approach to care.
