Sports Massage Therapy

Outcome based massage

Sports massages are outcome based which involves the assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal dysfunction. During your first appointment, our therapists will conduct a brief assessment to understand your current health, medical history and lifestyle habits. This is so the therapist can find out more and work on your problem areas rather than giving you a full body massage.

Sports performance and recovery

A sports massage can help your body to recover more efficiently after a workout and help you perform better during a race. It stimulates blood circulation and lymph fluids, breaking down adhesions or knots in muscles, allowing for a wider range of movement. Blood circulation is vital for full recovery which ensures injury prevention in the long run. Remedial massage for sports are ideal before and after exercise to ensure full recovery from the last race and improved performance for the next race.

While our sports massage therapists have gone through additional training or accumulated significant amounts of experience with certain injuries, their area of focus does not lie in rehabilitation.

Injury rehabilitation

Remedial massage stimulates the easing of preexisting stiffness and tension as well as the repairing of tissues in the body. If you are suffering from a musculoskeletal dysfunction, it is important to see a qualified physiotherapist to get your condition assessed before moving on to Sports Massage Therapy.

Aches and strains

Muscle tension, stress and fatigue can affect all of us, whether we are competitive or recreational athletes, busy housewives or stressed executives. Many of our clients report feeling those knots being “ironed out” post-massage. Musculoskeletal discomforts can arise due to various reasons – it could be due to poor posture in the office, housework strains that arise from repeated activity such as wringing wet laundry. Even prolonged usage of mobile devices can cause various aches and strains. Back and neck aches are becoming a common epidemic in the modern society. Sports Massage Therapy can relieve the tightness, solve your aches and rebalance your body so you can feel comfortable again.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a therapeutic massage used in a variety of medical treatments such as cancer patients after surgery. Lymph is a liquid that circulates through the lymphatic system that gets rid harmful chemicals in the body. Manual Lymphatic Drainage  encourages the natural drainage of the lymph and is especially useful for clients whose lymph nodes are swollen.
