What are the benefits?

Sports massage is a form of manual therapy that is excellent for both athletes and non-athletes alike to relieve pain, soreness, and tension in the body. Treatments have a therapeutic effect and optimise health and wellbeing by acting on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. Sports massage is effective in treating many conditions; both chronic and acute. Massage therapy is commonly used in all stages of injury recovery to improve range of motion, reduce adhesions, relieve pain, and reduce muscle spasms. Injury prevention is also a large part of massage therapy.

What to expect

Your initial sports massage therapy treatment at our health clinic in Christchurch, Dorset will be a one-hour long session with one of our highly trained sports massage therapists. First, we will discuss your injury and health history to ensure there are no contraindications or modifications needed to your treatment. Then we will discuss your treatment goals to design a personalised treatment plan for you. A physical assessment of your range of motion, posture and quality of movement will be conducted to ascertain the focus of the treatment. Then the massage therapist will provide a manual therapy treatment using techniques. Although deep tissue treatments may be slightly painful, the relief will be noticeable immediately afterwards. Next day soreness is common but will diminish and disappear within a couple of days.

Sports Massage FAQs

Do I need a GP referral before I can see you?
No. You don’t need to be referred to us in order to make an appointment. While it’s always helpful to have accompanying notes or a diagnosis from a GP or consultant, we don’t need to have them before we see you or start your treatment. You can simply walk in, book an appointment with our clinicians, and they will assess, diagnose and treat you.
Can I cancel an appointment?
If you need to ask change or cancel an appointment, we ask that you contact us at least 24 hours beforehand (cancellations within 24 hours are charged at 50% of the appointment fee).
What should I bring to the appointment?
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes when you come for your appointment. If you’re having a lower limb assessment, shorts or leggings are best. If it’s for an upper limb problem, please make sure you’re wearing a vest, vest-top or similar.
What if I need a chaperone?
If you feel that you would prefer to have a chaperone with you during your assessment then please bring a suitable person.
