What does a session involve?

You will have a chat about what your aims for sports massage are (tightness in a particular area, tight neck at the end of a work week, maintenance for running, return to sport etc).  You may do a few movements so the masseuse can see where any tightness is.  You can then lay on a firm but comfortable bed covered by your clothes or a towel for modesty.  The masseuse will then work to reduce muscular tension and other symptoms to resolve the identified problems.

Physical benefits of sports massage

Greater overall flexibility. Massage expands muscle tissues in a multidirectional fashion, equally longitudinally and side to side. This may also have a comparable impact on the muscular sheath and around ligament, enabling the perfect release of stored pressure and stress.

Increased tissues permeability. Massage therapy leads to the tissue membrane microscopic holes to enlarge, enabling essential fluids and nutrients to go through a lot more easily. This allows waste material like lactic acid solution to be taken out easily and results in a situation whereby oxygen and nutritional requirements are swiftly sent to the target muscles, enabling a rapid recovery.

Improved micro blood flow. Massage boosts the the circulation of blood to the targeted muscle tissues in the same way as exercise. Furthermore, massage therapy also causes vessels of blood to dilate which allows fresh air and nutrition to be transported more conveniently.
