Sports/Deep Tissue Massage

A massage treatment that is designed for athletes & very active people, to assist with event preparation and performance enhancement, prevent injuries and aid in post-event recovery

Think of your soft tissue system as a layer cake, when working with very active people we need to address issues that occur in all layers of the soft tissue system.  We use techniques that target deep muscle fibres and connective tissues.  

These massage styles are often used interchangeably, they both involve applying precise pressure in specific areas to provide relief.  Similarly to Remedial Massage, it is not a one-size fits all approach, but a tailored one to address specific requirements of each individual.  

Sports Massage can be delivered in a structured and preordained way, which will provide relief, but may miss the opportunity of addressing deeper requirements in an attempt to ensure the whole body is addressed.  

As the Sports Massage is a recover or preparation treatment less assessment time is required, but you will receive the assessment skills of a Remedially Trained therapist at Muscle Medicine.

A Sports or Deep Tissue therapist does not have to be Remedially trained, though all Muscle Medicine therapists are Remedially trained.
