Bradbourne Osteopaths

what is sports massage?

The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which can build up in the body’s soft tissues. Sports massage helps prevent injuries, treat injuries already incurred and improve well-being within the patient.

Sports massage is not just for the sports person. Patients include desk workers, trades people and the retired.

Sports massage tends to be a deeper massage. It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu.

At the Bradbourne Osteopathic Practice we offer 30, 45 and 60 minute sports massage appointments. Initial appointment must be 60 minutes.

A regular massage treatment programme based on the therapist’s understanding of the clients presenting complaint.

rehabilitation

Even with preventative maintenance, muscles cramp, tear, bruise, and ache. Sports massage can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process.
Soft tissue techniques employed by sports massage therapists are effective in the management of both acute and chronic injuries.

event massage

Pre-event and post-event massage therapies are tailored for distinct purposes. Pre-event treatment is used as a supplement to an athlete’s warm-up to enhance circulation and reduce excess muscle and mental tension prior to competition. It is tailored to the needs of the athlete and his/her event and can be relaxing or stimulating as appropriate. Post-event massage, on the other hand, is geared towards reducing the muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with rigorous exercise. Various sports massage techniques enhance the body’s own recovery process improving the athlete’s ability to return to training and competition, and reducing the risk of injury.
