Sports Therapy
Optimising performance, enhancing recovery
Our Sports Therapy services are designed to help individuals of all ages and abilities achieve their performance goals, recover from injuries, and maintain peak physical condition. Our team of experienced Sports Therapists specialises in assessing, treating, and rehabilitating sporting, recreational or occupational-related injuries, utilising a comprehensive approach to optimise athletic performance and promote overall well-being.
What is Sports Therapy?
Sports Therapy is a branch of healthcare that focuses on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation, in particular sports-related injuries. Sports Therapists are trained professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science, allowing them to effectively evaluate and manage musculoskeletal conditions commonly encountered in athletes and active individuals.
What is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to address the unique musculoskeletal needs of individuals, of all ages and abilities. Our Sports Therapists use a combination of techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, stretching, and trigger point therapy to release tension, improve flexibility, and restore balance to your muscles and joints. Throughout the session, they will communicate with you to ensure your comfort and adjust the intensity of the massage as needed.
So, whether you're an elite athlete striving for peak performance, a recreational athlete aiming to stay injury-free, or someone recovering from injury, our Sports Therapy services can help you achieve your goals and lead a healthier, more active lifestyle.
