What is a 'Sports Massage' session?

Our Sports Massage Edinburgh is a treatment method that releases and stretches the soft tissues of the body (muscles, fascia, tendons). Sports Massage is an effective method of injury prevention and tissue recovery after performance. Sports Massage can also be a very efficient tool in reducing tension and stress for the non-sports man or woman, making it accessible to everybody.

We value the importance in patients being able to help themselves get better just as much as we pride our hands-on massage skills. So this is why we have the important combination of both absolutely perfect.  

Will it be painful?

Truthfully, it really doesn't need to be. Everybody likes massage different and require varying amounts pressure. If it is a really deep massage your muscles need, then a sports or deep tissue massage is just right for you. However, if you don't like as much pressure or it is a little too much, that is just as easy to fix and can still be just as beneficial. We're focussed on helping you feel better and encouraging movement habits that are manageable to reduce tension. 

What's included?

1. Assessment of any tightness, aching or pain.
2. Holistic approach (the pain may be in your elbow, but your neck may be involved)
3. Education regarding any issues you may have.
4. Sports massage treatment tailored to your own body - no routine treatments.
5. Any physiotherapy/ sports therapy advice that you may need - all the knowledge of a professional if your issue requires more advanced help. 
6. Interactive corrective exercise programme with our new software
