Sports Massage FAQs
What are the benefits of sports massage?
Sports massage can help relieve muscle tension, reduce stiffness and improve comfort. It can be beneficial for people who exercise regularly, those experiencing muscle tightness and anyone looking to support their recovery and wellbeing.
Do I need to be sporty to have a sports massage?
Not at all. Sports massage isn’t just for athletes. It can help with muscle tension and stiffness caused by exercise, work, everyday activities or prolonged sitting.
What’s the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?
Both treatments use hands-on techniques to address muscle tension. Deep tissue massage generally focuses on deeper muscle layers, while sports massage is tailored to your activity levels, specific areas of tension and recovery needs.
Is sports massage painful?
Sports massage doesn’t need to be painful to be effective. At Fitstuff Clinic, our experienced, degree-qualified clinical practitioners have excellent palpation skills, allowing them to assess muscle tension and how tissues respond to treatment. Deeper isn’t always better, and excessive pressure can cause unnecessary soreness or tissue irritation. We tailor treatment to your individual needs, focusing on the response of the tissue rather than simply applying more pressure.
Should I have a sports massage before or after a race?
Sports massage can be useful both before and after an event, but timing is important. A lighter massage may be appropriate before a race, while deeper treatment is generally best avoided immediately beforehand. Following an event, massage may help relieve muscle soreness and stiffness.
How often should I have a sports massage?
This depends on your activity levels, training schedule and individual needs. Some people benefit from regular appointments, while others book when experiencing muscle tension or during periods of increased training.
Can sports massage help with running injuries?
Sports massage may help relieve muscle tension and discomfort associated with running, but it doesn’t replace assessment and rehabilitation of an injury. Our team can assess your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Should I have a sports massage or see a physiotherapist?
If you’re experiencing general muscle tightness or stiffness, sports massage may be appropriate. However, if you have persistent pain, a new injury or symptoms affecting your movement, a physiotherapy or osteopathy assessment may be more suitable.
