Massage
Massage can be a great way to look after your body, whether you’re training regularly, recovering from physical activity or simply carrying tension from everyday life.
At Victoria Park Sports Medicine, our massage therapists use a range of techniques to work with your individual needs. Depending on what you’re looking for, you can choose from sports massage or remedial massage, with treatments tailored to the areas that need attention.Sports Massage or Remedial Massage?
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed with active people in mind. It can be useful before or after training, during periods of increased activity, or when particular muscles are feeling tight, tired or overworked.
Treatment focuses on the muscles and areas that are under the most stress from your sport or training. Your therapist may use deeper pressure, soft tissue techniques and stretching to help ease muscular tension, support recovery and keep your body feeling ready for activity.
Sports massage can be particularly useful for:
Runners and other endurance athletes
People training for races or events
Muscle tightness following exercise
Recovery between training sessions
Maintaining flexibility and range of movement
Areas of muscular tension or overuse
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage takes a more targeted approach to muscular pain, tension and physical problems. It can be useful when a particular area has been bothering you, whether that has come from exercise, work, posture or everyday activity.
Your therapist will assess the area and tailor the treatment to what you need, using techniques such as deep tissue massage and myofascial work. As well as addressing areas of tension and discomfort, remedial massage can also provide a sense of relaxation and help you unwind. Treatment may also include simple exercises or advice to help you manage the problem between appointments.
Remedial massage can be particularly useful for:
Persistent muscle tension
Localised aches and pains
Overuse problems
Muscular imbalances
Tight or restricted muscles
Recovery from physical strain
Recurring areas of discomfort
Relaxation and releasing built-up tension
