Sports Massage Therapy and Physiotherapy Treatment both play their part in helping muscle tightness and imbalances including relieving tension in muscles, improving performance and recovery, and getting to the root of reoccurring niggles and pain.
A sports massage is a hands-on treatment and a form of massage therapy, involving the manipulation of soft tissue to relieve tension in muscles and connective tissue.
Prior to your massage, our therapists conduct an initial screening to make sure that sports massage is the best option.
We will screen for any red flag symptoms and rule out any contraindications.
Our qualified therapists may also ask about the reasons you have chosen a sports massage and what you would like to get out of the session.
Physiotherapy, Initial Assessment allows us to not only highlight problem areas but to get to the root cause of these problems.
Our physio’s will use a variety of tests, assessments, movement analysis to understand what’s causing your pain and dysfunction.
Depending on your injury and symptoms, our physios will provide you your own personalised rehabilitation program and put together a plan to help you with your recovery.
So, when you’re faced with the decision of whether you need a sports massage or physio assessment remember;
Sports Massage = Recovery, loosening of soft tissue and/or maintenance for tight areas.
Physio Assessment = Investigate pain, after an injury, neurological symptoms, posture correction, injury prevention, recurrent injuries or having regular sports massages but the issue is not resolving.
