Sports Massage at Barrie Gardner's Practice

​

Explore the dynamic benefits of our sports massage, a specialized approach performed on a comfortable couch with the use of oils. Distinguished by its application of stronger pressure, our sports massage targets tension within the deeper layers of the body's musculature. This unique blend combines remedial massage with focused stretching, pressing, and kneading, effectively releasing tension that superficial massage may overlook.

​

While sports massage may feel less immediately relaxing than therapeutic massage, the experienced tenderness is a crucial element for the body to release tension. Throughout the session, client feedback and attention to correct breathing are actively encouraged and monitored to ensure optimal comfort and prevent any undue discomfort.

​

Beyond the advantages offered by therapeutic massage, our sports massage provides:

  1. Reduced Physiological Fatigue and Quick Recovery: Integral to training programs, it enhances performance and facilitates swift recovery after exertion.
     

  2. Increased Elimination of Waste Products: Accelerates the removal of post-exercise waste products from the blood, surpassing the benefits of rest alone.
     

  3. Improved Recovery of Soft Tissue Injuries: Complements integrated rehabilitation programs by aiding recovery from sprains and strains, reducing discomfort.
     

  4. Greater Flexibility and Elasticity: Enhances the flexibility and elasticity of the muscular system, contributing to overall physical well-being.
