Sports massage in Stockport

If you lead an active lifestyle or take part in intensive sports, you’ll be familiar with the residual aches and pains of a good workout. Sometimes, these niggles become full-blown injuries that can stop you enjoying your sporty lifestyle to the full – try a sports massage in Stockport to relieve the pain of a sports injury and support the healing process.

What is sports massage?

Sports massage is a deep tissue treatment tailored especially to the needs of athletes. Developed to help prevent injury, boost performance and prepare athletes for intensive events, sports massage can also be used to aid healing after an injury has occurred.

A sports massage may be necessary before an event, with a focus on the parts of the body that will be used, such as the legs in a running event. After an event, an athlete may have a sports massage to help relax and normalise the muscles. Restorative and rehabilitative sports massages are also popular among athletes looking either to prevent an injury or promote recovery.

Although sports massage is designed with athletes in mind, it’s also suitable for non-athletes; if you have an injury, restricted range of motion or suffer from chronic pain, you could find a sports massage in Stockport helpful.

Sports massage can be a great way to relax after a tough workout at the gym, too. If you’re embarking on a new healthy lifestyle, or attending a bootcamp to ramp up your health and fitness levels, give your tired muscles some relief with a massage at the end of a gruelling day.
