Sports massage is a service that has stood the test of time within the sports community. For decades athletes have sworn by its restorative and revitalising properties in assisting top sports performances.
Massage therapy includes various techniques designed to bring about numerous benefits; techniques that are constantly being adapted in response to both scientific research and the demands of various modern lifestyles. The Optimal Movement Shrewsbury sports massage service is constantly being updated with the latest and most beneficial techniques.
The Optimal Movement Shrewsbury sports massage service will involve an initial consultation to help you understand the benefits and help us understand what you would like from the sessions. Don’t feel nervous about your first session. You would be correct to think it is not like a popular therapeutic Swedish massage but, on the other hand, you would be wrong to believe it is going to put you in a world of hurt. There could potentially be periods of discomfort during the massage treatment but no sports massage should leave you feeling bruised for days afterwards.
It is important to maintain good communication with your sports massage therapist throughout the treatment in order to leave in the best condition possible.
The modern lifestyle is guilty of putting your body into unnatural compromised positions (sitting at a desk, driving a car, texting on a phone etc.) Sports massage can help alleviate the tightness and pain that comes as a result. If you are competing in a sport that involves repetitive movements (there are few sports that don’t!) then sports massage is a treatment that can reduce muscle tension, eliminate pain, increase flexibility and therefore increase your training and competitive performances.
The trainers you wear when training and/or competing can also be beneficial, but are not essential.
After your first treatment session is complete and you have learnt what sports massage can do for you, we will be able to chat about your next session.
