Benefits of Sports
Massage
Sports massage has
many benefits. In
addition to FEELING
GOOD, sports massage
reduces the heart
rate and blood pressure,
increases blood circulation
and lymph flow, reduces
muscle tension, improves
flexibility and relieves
pain. Sports Massage
can also include
pre-event, post-event
and maintenance techniques
that maximises function
and decreases the
chances of injury.
What to expect
Your first session
will consist of a
consultation that
will last for one
hour and will be
conducted by a competent
sports therapy student.
A qualified physiotherapist
will then diagnose
the problem and will
work with the student
to plan an appropriate
treatment. Follow
up sessions will
last for 30 minutes.
What to wear
Wearing appropriate
clothing will allow
the therapist to
effectively assess
the affected area
i.e. wearing a vest
for upper limb assessment
and shorts for a
lower
limb assessment.
After Treatment
Once you have completed
your treatment(s),
it is advisable to
drink plenty of water
and to follow any
advice given to you
by your therapist.
