What Does a Sports Massage Involve?

A sports massage is a specialised and systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body designed to address the unique physical demands of sports and exercise. It is a more targeted and intense therapy than a general relaxation massage. Your Rejuvenators massage therapist will conduct an assessment to understand your sport, training load, and any specific areas of discomfort or muscle tension, ensuring a sports massage tailored to your needs.

This assessment allows us to tailor the sports massage therapy to your precise needs, whether you’re dealing with soreness experienced from a recent workout or preparing for an upcoming event. Sports massages typically implement a combination of sports massage techniques to achieve the best results, including:

  • Deep Tissue Massage: Remedial deep tissue massage techniques focus on the deep layers of muscle and connective tissues. It involves firm pressure and slow strokes to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions (knots) in the muscle fibres.
  • Trigger Point Therapy: Your therapist will identify and apply direct pressure to specific trigger points within the muscle. This technique is highly effective for relieving pain that can refer to other parts of the body and for restoring muscle flexibility.
  • Stretching and Mobilisation: Unlike other forms of massage, a sports massage often incorporates assisted stretching to improve flexibility and increase your range of motion – crucial for athletic performance and injury prevention.

Our goal is to work with you to ensure proper muscle recovery and help your muscles’ maximum potential be realised.

Relieve Muscle Soreness and Prevent Injury

Integrating a regular sports massage into your routine is a proactive strategy for maintaining peak physical condition. Beyond addressing pain, sports massage optimises your body’s ability to perform and recover. The physiological and psychological benefits are significant for recreational athletes and sports professionals alike.

A professional sports massage can help improve your whole body function and aid in faster recovery, leading to a noticeable difference in your training and competitive results.

There are many sports massage benefits. Your treatment can:

  • Accelerate Recovery Time: A key benefit is the management of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). By increasing circulation, the massage helps to flush out lactic acid and other metabolic waste from injured tissues, significantly reducing muscle soreness and muscle stiffness post-exercise.
  • Enhance Flexibility & Performance: The massage techniques used work to stretch and lengthen muscle fibres and fascia. This leads to an increased range of motion and improved muscle flexibility, allowing for more powerful and efficient movement while reducing the risk of strains.
  • Help Prevent and Treat Injuries: By identifying and treating areas of tightness and imbalance, sports massage can improve posture and biomechanics, which in turn can help prevent injury before it occurs. For existing sports-related injuries, the therapy is a vital tool for rehabilitation, breaking down scar tissue and promoting the healing of soft tissue.
  • Relieve Pain & Tension: Whether it’s chronic muscle pain or acute tension from overexertion, a sports massage can provide effective, immediate relief. The therapy releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, relieving muscle tension, discomfort and pain in the legs, back, and joints.
  • Improve Circulation: The physical manipulation of the muscles boosts blood flow. Enhanced circulation means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your muscles, which is vital for both performance and rapid recovery.
  • Reduce Stress & Improved Focus: Intense training can elevate cortisol levels. A sports massage helps you relax post-exercise, can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and helps calm the nervous system. This mental reset is crucial for maintaining focus during competition.

Pre-Event, Post-Event, and Maintenance Massage Therapy

The timing of your sports massage is key to unlocking its full benefits. Our massage therapists can tailor the session based on your training cycle and competition schedule to ensure you are relaxed and primed for full muscle potential and performance.

  • Pre-Event Massage: A pre-event session is typically shorter and more invigorating, performed 1-2 days before competition. The focus is on stimulating the specific muscles used in your sport, increasing blood flow, and improving flexibility to prepare the body for intense exertion and enhance performance.
  • Post-Event Massage: This is a crucial part of the recuperative therapy process, ideally performed within 24-48 hours after your event or intense training. The goal is to calm the nervous system, reduce muscle soreness, flush out toxins, and begin the healing process. This is essential for ensuring a faster recovery.
  • Maintenance Massage: A regular sports massage (e.g., weekly or bi-weekly) is a cornerstone of any serious athlete’s workout routine. These sessions focus on relieving tense muscles adequately, addressing minor imbalances before they become a major injury, and maintaining an optimal range of motion and muscle condition.

Mobile Sports Massage Techniques – FAQs

What is the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?

While a sports massage often incorporates deep tissue massage techniques, its goal is fundamentally different. Deep tissue massage aims to relieve severe muscle tension throughout the body. A sports massage is a specialised form of rehabilitative therapy specifically tailored to the athlete. It focuses on muscles relevant to a particular sport or activity, and it often includes other techniques like stretching, compression, and mobilisation to achieve a specific performance or recovery outcome.

Should a sports massage be painful?

It is a more intense and focused treatment than a relaxation massage. When your therapist is working on tight muscle fibres or breaking down adhesions, you may experience some discomfort. However, you should never experience unreasonable sports massage pain. A professional sports massage therapist will communicate with you constantly to work within your tolerance. The feeling should be one of a “good hurt”, intense but productive. You might feel sore for a day or two after, similar to post-workout soreness, which is a normal part of the muscle repair process. While mild soreness can occur, sports massage side effects are minimal when performed by trained professionals.

How often should I get a sports massage?

The ideal frequency depends on your training intensity, goals, and budget. Professional athletes or those in heavy training might benefit from 1-2 sessions per week. For most active individuals and ‘weekend warriors’, a session every 2-4 weeks is an excellent schedule for maintenance and prevention of sporting injuries. We can help you create a plan that works for everyone from professional sportspeople to ordinary people who frequently exert themselves in their everyday lives.

Can massage help with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)?

Yes. This form of remedial therapy can help with DOMS by increasing circulation, reducing tension, and aiding the removal of metabolic waste from the muscles.

What should I do immediately post-massage?

To get the full benefits of your session, it’s important to care for your body afterwards. We recommend drinking plenty of water to help flush out the metabolic waste that was released from your muscles. Avoid strenuous activity or intense exercise for at least 12-24 hours to allow your muscles to recover and heal from the deep work. A light walk or some gentle stretching is fine. Some clients find a warm Epsom salt bath can also help if you experience post-massage soreness.
