Deep tissue sports massage and how it helps

If you are experiencing stress, muscle soreness, or pain and you feel like your body is a giant knot of tense muscles then deep tissue sports massage therapy might be the solution to your problems.

Massage is widely accepted as both a tool for relaxation and stress relief and also to alleviate pain, treat arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, and depression, among other conditions.

Deep tissue massage therapy focuses on full-body relaxation by applying more pressure on the deepest layers of muscle tissue. The deep tissue massage technique relieves small, newer areas of muscular tension in the tissue and break up adhesions in the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding your bones, muscles, and joints).

Sports massage therapy is a more focused deep tissue massage and may focus on a certain area of the body. It uses a combination of deep and light modalities to loosen muscle knots, improve blood flow, and prevent lactic acid build-up. The stretching movements on the muscle-tendon junctions can provide certain advantages to enhance athletic performance by healing and preventing sports injury and improving flexibility.

At the Home Physio Group, our physiotherapists will evaluate your posture, the physical demands of your particular sport, and past sports injuries. They can then concentrate on the areas of your body that are overworked from aggressive and repetitive movements.
