Sports Massage Therapy Putney

Sports massage involves a variety of pressure and massage movements, and specialised techniques such as trigger point therapy may be introduced to break down adhesions (knots) and increase range of motion. This treatment can determine if there are any areas where the soft tissue or muscle is weaker and help strengthen it. The therapist can identify areas in which you experience muscle tightness and determine muscle abnormalities that could potentially lead to injury if left untreated or if not stretched before exercise.

Although sports massage is aimed at people who regularly push their bodies through strenuous exercise, many others can reap benefits from a sports massage.

“I was particularly impressed with the masseur’s deep knowledge of biomechanics, and an understanding of what I specifically needed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Physio4Life to anyone, regardless of whether they do sport or not!”

Help sports injuries with massage

Massage helps to prevent and support the healing of injuries. Many overuse soft tissue injuries will benefit from a massage by preventing fibrosis (the formation of scar tissue) and by influencing the secretion of specific fluids (for example nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphate) necessary for tissue repair. The increased circulation of blood and lymph promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation and helps fight infection.
