Deep tissue sports massage in Leeds
Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage which is a little more intense than the gentler forms of massage you might come across in a health spa. Designed to concentrate upon your muscles and connective tissue, sports massage offers a range of useful benefits and is the perfect way to keep your body moving and free from pain.
What can sports massage do for me?
Sports massage brings a wide range of benefits including:
- Relaxation of tight or stiff muscles, promoting movement and reducing pain
- Reduction of muscle tension and relief from chronic pain
- Unbeatable stress-buster and a great way to reduce tension and improve sleep quality
- A great way to prepare for sports completion and to help the body recover after competition
- Rehabilitation after injury
- Remodelling of scar tissue
- Enhancing and improving body posture
- Improvements in circulation and lymphatic flow
Sports massage is an effective treatment which can be used to treat a number of chronic problems including strained shoulder muscles, stiff necks, back pain, sciatica and whip lash injuries. In addition, our clients find it is a great way to relax, unwind and ease the stresses and strains of everyday life.
Is sports massage painful?
Although sports massage uses firm pressure your tolerance level will always be taken into consideration. We know that what one person feels is a light massage will feel intense to another, so we’ll work closely with you to find a level that’s perfect for you.
