DOES IT HURT??
One of the biggest worries I hear people have is how painful a sports massage is.
A sports therapist is trained to find your pain threshold and work just below it whilst advising on your breathing techniques to manage any possible discomfort.
Your body will undergo a recovery phase post sports massage, and while it’s likely you will potentially feel a bit sore for a few days, drinking plenty of water and taking a warm bath would aid this process. However, these effects can ease over time or perhaps won’t be a problem at all!
It usually takes 24-48 hours to feel the full effect of a sports massage after which, you should feel comfortable, rejuvenated and more mobile.
While a sports massage isn’t the most relaxing, the benefits are vast. Each client is different, therefore, if there are any techniques you do not feel comfortable using, we can always work around that!
Message with any enquiries you might have and I’ll get back to you.
