Sports Therapy aims to  alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity. 

​

Our Sports Therapists can offer a therapeutic massage, myofascial cupping or a full injury assessment complete with exercise prescription and hands on treatment. Your chiropractor or osteopath may refer you to the sports therapist for an exercise prescription which will be developed with both professionals giving input -   with your specific condition in mind.  Alternatively, you can be assessed by the sports therapist independently.​If you have a concern  regarding your training technique, sprain and strains, gym programme or a sporting injury, please book a full injury assessment with our sports therapist. 

​

Sports massage tends to be a  deeper and more focused massage, and often incorporates a combination of others techniques involving stretching, toning, trigger points therapy, cupping or instrument assisted releases. The pressure can always be tailored to you and your preferences.

​

Myofascial cupping is a specialised technique that uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying fascia, helping to alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation. This method can effectively break down adhesions and scar tissue, leading to reduced pain and enhanced flexibility. By promoting the body’s natural healing processes, myofascial cupping supports improved mobility and a faster recovery, making it a valuable tool for  those recovering from injury.

 

Injury rehabilitation may also include a bespoke rehab programme designed for your specific injury or to aid your recovery, for example, after surgery.

​

This treatment is not just for the sports person, anyone can benefit from sports massage and/or an exercise programme, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious strains of daily life (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries).

The main goal of therapy is to bring optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries using a host of approaches alone or in combination.
