Sports massage

By manually manipulating the muscles and soft tissue, sports massage can benefit a person who engages in regular physical activity. Sports massage can be used as a stand alone treatment or be integrated into a rehabilitation or injury preventative programme. With benefits to movement and reduction in training, induced pain and stiffness, massage can be a great tool to improve training and physical performance.

How to get the best from a sports massage

Sports massage can benefit those training and exercising regularly, preparing for competition or recovering from an event. The session can cater for the needs of the individual and focus on specific areas of tightness and work to reduce discomfort and training induced pain. These benefits apply to those training at high levels as much as those with general everyday aches and pains.

Treatment can be shaped to the individual's needs, working from a quick subjective and objective assessment. Knowing the main aggravating factors and observing movement deficiencies, massage and soft tissue work can be targeted to ensure effective changes for improved mobility, pain reduction or physical performance.

Based from a clinic room in Viking Strength Gym, Ossett, Wakefield there is always the option to spill out into the gym for any additional mobility work or accessory exercises that could contribute to long term improvements.
