ABOUT SPORTS MASSAGE IN SPALDING
Content written by Greg Pritchard, RAPID NeuroFascial Reset Specialist, BTEC L5 Soft Tissue Therapy (CSSM), MFHT
If you pick up an injury, ache or pain exercising or playing a sport, it's likely someone will suggest a sports massage.
A more robust, vigorous style of massage, "sports massage" is generally used weekly or monthly to help with ongoing aches and pains picked up from sports, exercise or other activities.
A sports massage session generally involves the removal of clothing to underwear, with the sports massage therapist applying wax or oil to the client's skin before going on to use vigorous massage techniques, cupping or scraping in order to try and reduce muscle pain or soreness.
AT STATE 11 SOFT TISSUE THERAPY, WE ARE OFTEN ASKED IF WE CAN PROVIDE SPORTS MASSAGE IN SPALDING
Our focus at State 11 is all about helping people in pain, whether it's struggling with an injury, issues with joint mobility, muscle pain or nerve problems.
​
In our experience, sports massage is not the quickest or more effective way to deal with injury, muscle or joint problems (although it can be an effective treatment for mild DOMS cases or muscle soreness after exercise).
​
It often requires multiple appointments before any significant improvement is seen - which is both costly and time consuming. And much of the "science"used for reasons for sports massage (like "increasing blood circulation") is dubious at best.
​
​So because we want our clients to feel better as quickly as possible, we don't offer traditional sports massage at State 11.
