I know many of you have asked the question a is sports massage for me? 🤔🤔

Sports massage is used for a variety of purposes such as injury prevention, recovery from fatigue, relaxation, and to increase performance. It was originally developed to help athletes prepare for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training.

However, sports massage is not just for athletes. It can be extremely beneficial for those suffering from everyday injuries, chronic pain, or restricted range of motion. Many people rule out a sports massage just because they don’t participate in sports. Sports massage is for everyone, including you!

Some benefits of sports massage include:

✅Reduces stress, anxiety, tension

✅Pain relief

✅Loosens tight muscles

✅Increases range of motion and flexibility

✅Improves circulation of blood and lymph fluids around the body

✅Improves immune system

✅Promotes restful sleep

You do not have to be an Olympian or an Ultra Runner to benefit from a sports massage. If you are experiencing aches and pains get in contact today and find out more why a Sports Massage is for you!

⭐️Injury Spotlight⭐️

Over the next few weeks I am going to discuss an injury that I have treated and some information around muscles involved, the role of the muscles and I will then follow up with some exercises that I have prescribed in the rehabilitation programme.

For my first injury spotlight, I had a client come in who was experiencing hip flexor pain. An highly active individual who participates in team sports however it became difficult and painful when running particularly at higher speeds and intensity.

The hip flexors consist of five key muscles that contribute to hip flexion:
🦵Iliacus
🦵Psoas
🦵Pectineus
🦵Rectus Femorus
🦵Sartorius.

A hip flexor muscle is a muscle that functions in flexing the hip, i.e bringing the knee closer to the chest. Hip flexion is maximal with a high, forward kick that brings the leg above the level of the waist. Every time you take a step, you are using your flexor muscles. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

From pre treatment testing I determined tightness in the re**us femorus and upon palpitation of the psoas muscle I found areas of increased tissue density and sensitivity which all determined the treatment plan for the client.

Keep an eye for videos of exercises relating to hip flexor rehabilitation and strengthening over the coming days. ✅

What is Sports Massage and is it for me❓

Sports massage is a type of massage therapy that incorporates a variety of techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching, to help individuals recover from injury, improve performance, and to reduce the risk of future injury.

Sports massage works by promoting healing, reducing pain and discomfort, and improving performance.
The massage therapist will use a variety of techniques, such as deep tissue massage, to target specific areas of the body that are affected by injury or pain.
This can help to improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.

Sports massage has many benefits for inidividuals, including:
✅Reducing pain and discomfort
✅Improving flexibility and mobility
✅Promoting healing and recovery
✅Improving performance
✅Reducing risk of future injury

Prior to the treatment, I will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine what treatment is best for you. From there, we will develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Following the treatment you will be given rehabilitation exercises to complete at home to help aid recovery but also to prevent reoccurrence of the injury. 🚷

It’s important to stress that sports massage or sports therapy treatment is not just for athletes, it highly effective for everyone and a wide range of injuries or complaints.

Great to have Kalvin of Carndonagh FC in tonight. Kalvin was part of the Carndonagh u16s team who won their cup final last night in Maginn. 🏆👏

He was in for some treatment to aid his recovery ahead of another cup final tomorrow evening at the same venue, this time for Carndonagh u18s.

He then lines out for Donegal Minors against Dublin on Saturday in the Buncrana Cup. I’m tired even at the thought of it 😅

Best of luck to Kalvin and all of his team mates over the coming days! 🙌
