Massage for the Sports Person or Athlete

Improved quality and quantity of training

Massage can improve circulation, improve rest periods, can increase knowledge and awareness for stretching, warm-up and cool down.

Injury prevention

Regular massage can highlight potential problems in soft tissues and help to modify training programmes appropriately.

Improved performance

Massage can help fine tune a training programme, allow the sports person to work closely with the therapist, promote flexibility, mobility and release tension, help prepare the sports person for performance through pre-event massage and can help speed up recovery, reducing tissue damage.

Improved self awareness

Massage can help inform the sports person and allow them to monitor their own condition during their preparation, performance and cool down.
