Sports Massage for some people conjures up thoughts of bruises and pain. Which can be the case, but if it is, something has not been done correctly.Although a Sports Massage is deeper and more intense than a Spa Treatment Massage, it is far more beneficial for injury recovery, and releasing tight muscles.\u00a0Sports Massage uses Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) – this involves working a knot or tightness, by using pressure to breakdown and release muscles tissue. The pain you feel through this should ease off during the application of the pressure.\u00a0For a moment there may be discomfort the pain is released and it is a feel good type of pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Most people when I massage them, say, “Ooh, that is painful”, for about 30 seconds, followed by, “Aah, that is nice”.Another technique used is Soft Tissue Release (STR) this is a very effective, and popular technique. STR involves the therapist locking the muscles in place, and you stretching away from the locked area. This will possibly be uncomfortable in the moment, but hugely beneficial afterwards. A little pain, for a lot of gain!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After a treatment you may feel that the muscles have been worked, and then you should feel that they have calmed down.
\nThis is because the muscles and blood flow has been treated, through massage and muscle manipulation. Blood flow will naturally increase in the area that has been worked…naturally you may find your skin slightly reddened, but this is short lived. You may also feel a hot feeling as the blood is being perfused.In the treatments given in our studio, the therapist will ask for feedback during the massage, as well as explanations of the massages being offered.\u00a0If at any point there is too much pressure, or discomfort, they will adjust accordingly. So there is no need to worry!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
