How Sports Massage Can Help

At Blind Sight Physiotherapy, our sports massage sessions use a blend of deep tissue techniques and targeted trigger-point therapy to address muscle tension and enhance mobility. Here’s how sports massage supports your health:
Trigger-point therapy applies precise pressure to areas of tightness, reducing discomfort caused by physical activity or stress.
Improves muscle elasticity and reduces stiffness, helping your body move more freely and recover faster.
Regular sessions address minor aches before they develop into injuries, keeping you active and pain-free.

Evaluation

The massage therapist will first evaluate the client to determine their specific needs, areas of pain or discomfort, and any injuries or conditions that may require special attention.

Management

The therapist will then create a management plan based on the evaluation, taking into account the client's goals and expectations for the session.

Treatment

The massage itself will involve various techniques, such as kneading, stretching, and deep tissue massage, depending on the client's needs and the therapist's assessment.

Massage Therapy FAQ's

What types of massage do you offer?

A deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers to relieve tension and chronic pain, while a relaxing massage is gentler and focuses on stress relief and relaxation.

While both work deeply into muscles, sports massage focuses on areas affected by physical activity. Trigger-point therapy is a key feature, making it ideal for treating activity-related strains or fatigue, while deep tissue massage targets general tension and relaxation.

Some potential side effects of sports massage may include temporary tenderness or stiffness in the treated areas, lasting for a day or two following the therapy session.

 

In rare cases, individuals may experience a skin reaction to the massage oils or lotions used during the treatment.

Discomfort is a normal sensation that you may experience during or after a sports massage, but it should not result in significant pain.

If you encounter pain that surpasses what is commonly referred to as “the good kind of hurt,” it is essential to communicate this promptly to your physiotherapist. They will be able to adjust their techniques or pressure to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the session.

You’ll be draped with towels during your session to ensure privacy. Wear comfortable clothing that’s easy to change out of.

Stay hydrated, avoid a heavy meal beforehand, and inform us of any allergies or injuries. Arrive a few minutes early to relax and discuss your preferences.
