Despite the name, Sports Massage is not only for athletes.
It can be a good option for runners, cyclists, gym-goers, footballers, golfers, and other active people, but it can also help those whose muscles are under strain for very different reasons. That might include desk-based workers, drivers, busy parents, tradespeople, gardeners, or anyone dealing with recurring tension, tightness, or discomfort.
If your body feels stiff, restricted, overworked, or slow to recover, Sports Massage may be a helpful treatment to consider.
Sports Massage may help to:
For some clients, the goal is performance and recovery. For others, it is simply about moving more comfortably, reducing pain, and keeping on top of tension before it builds into a bigger problem.
Your appointment will begin with a short consultation so I can understand what has brought you in, what symptoms or areas you are concerned about, and what you would like help with. Depending on your needs, I may also carry out some brief observations of posture, range of motion, or movement.
The treatment itself is then tailored to you. Sports Massage can involve deeper soft tissue work, trigger point techniques, stretching, and other hands-on methods designed to target areas of tension or restriction.
Pressure is always adapted to your comfort level. While some areas may feel more intense than a relaxation massage, the aim is to work effectively without making the treatment feel overwhelming.
After your session, I may offer simple aftercare advice, exercises, or stretches to help you maintain the benefits of the treatment.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★... I switched to Hannah and immediately it became clear that I should have been seeing her as a sports injury therapist from day one.
Hannah is extremely knowledgeable and continues to train for a range of qualifications.

Sports massage is a highly recommended practice due to its potential benefits in aiding post-exercise recovery. It is effective in alleviating muscle soreness, tension, and tightness, thereby promoting faster recuperation and improved performance. Additionally, it provides a pleasurable experience and serves as a deserved reward for the dedication and effort put into maintaining an active lifestyle and achieving athletic objectives such as marathon running.
The key difference between massage and sports massage lies in their specific focus and application. While massage typically aims to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and improve overall well-being, sports massage is specifically tailored for athletes as well as those who follow an active lifestyle. It focuses on addressing the unique needs and challenges associated with sports-related activities and physically focussed career pathways. Sports massage may involve techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and targeted muscle work to address issues like muscle tension, soreness, and injury prevention, with the goal of enhancing athletic performance and aiding in recovery.
Yes, sports massage can be effective in addressing muscle knots or trigger points. Through skilled techniques such as deep tissue work and targeted pressure, a sports massage therapist can help release tension and promote relaxation in muscles, potentially helping to alleviate knots and improve overall muscle function, all while providing a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. My Kenninghall massage therapy room is the perfect place to focus on self-care and well-being.
No, sports massage and physiotherapy are not the same. While both can be beneficial, they are distinct practices with different scopes and approaches. Sports massage focuses on manual techniques to address muscle tension, soreness, and performance enhancement, while physiotherapy encompasses a broader range of interventions, including diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions, often involving exercises, procedures, and rehabilitative techniques beyond massage. While sports massage can be a complementary treatment in sports injury management, physiotherapy is a broader healthcare profession that involves a comprehensive approach to treating a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. It's important to consult with qualified professionals to determine which approach would be most appropriate for your specific needs.
It's important to note that sports massage is not a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis, and it's always best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
Sports massage can be beneficial for a variety of conditions related to muscles, joints, and soft tissues, including:
Muscle Energy Techniques are a type of sports massage technique that involves the client actively contracting and relaxing specific muscles while the therapist applies gentle stretches. This helps to improve muscle flexibility, joint mobility, and relieve muscle tension. They can also be used by sports massage therapists to address muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and improve overall musculoskeletal function, using techniques such as reciprocal inhibition, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and isolytic contraction.
