Unlike general relaxation massage, sports massage focuses on the muscles and soft tissues most affected by movement, training, or injury. It’s suitable for both athletes and non-athletes — anyone with an active lifestyle, physically demanding job, or muscular tension from prolonged sitting or repetitive tasks.

Sports massage may be recommended when clients experience:

  • Muscle tightness or soreness
  • Reduced flexibility or range of motion
  • Repetitive strain or overuse injuries
  • Post-training or post-competition fatigue
  • Stress or tension affecting physical performance

These issues can arise from sport, work, or daily life and may lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, or increased injury risk if left untreated.

At Physio Matters, Sports Massage is offered as part of a holistic approach to musculoskeletal health and may include:

  • Deep tissue techniques to release tension and improve muscle function
  • Trigger point therapy to address referred pain and tight spots
  • Stretching and myofascial release to enhance flexibility
  • Pre- and post-event massage to prepare for or recover from activity
  • Circulation-boosting techniques to support healing and reduce inflammation

Sports massage can be used preventively, to maintain muscle health, or as part of a recovery plan following injury or intense activity. [www.beverl…herapy.com]
