Sports massage
Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. It involves targeted techniques to alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, helping athletes prevent injuries and maintain peak physical condition.
Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports massage can support your training regimen, aid in quicker recovery, and enhance overall flexibility and performance.
What if I don't play sport?
Although sports massage originated for the benefit of athletes who require a deeper, firmer pressure to have a positive effect on well developed muscles, sports massage can be used by anyone. West-Gate offers 30, 45 minute or 1 hour appointments ideal for people from desk workers to labourers suffering with symptoms such as; joint stiffness and muscle soreness. It can be used as a reliever for conditions such as arthritis, pre or post joint replacement, inflammatory conditions and much more.
Practitioners will always ask for your feedback throughout the sports massage appointment to gauge your comfort and treatment effectiveness
