Sports Massage In Coventry
Sports massage can be a powerful tool for enhancing performance and supporting long-term physical and mental health. Incorporating proactive bodywork into your training plan is one of the smartest investments you can make. By keeping soft tissue healthy and supple, you help reduce the risk of strains, sprains, and overuse injuries that can derail progress.
Sports massage is not just for acute injuries or athletic performance – it is a foundational practice for long-term musculoskeletal health. Regular treatments support posture, mobility, and joint integrity over time, making it easier to stay active, mobile, and injury-free.
It provides a space for you to reconnect with your body, release stress, and tap into a greater sense of ease and balance. Sports massage can become a key part of the mental and emotional self-care routine as well as a physical one.
We offer flexible, targeted session lengths, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. For deeper relief and recovery, you can incorporate our add-ons into your session: dry needling, dry cupping therapy, and shockwave therapy.
These are some of the hands-on techniques we use:
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle tissue, fascia, and tendons to combat chronic tension, muscle knots, and adhesions (areas where muscle fibres have become stuck together).
Trigger point therapy involves applying focused pressure to hyper-irritable spots within a muscle. These can cause localised pain or discomfort in other areas of the body. This technique involves applying pressure to specific trigger points to deactivate them and restore normal muscle tone.
Myofascial release techniques target the fascia: the thin, elastic connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. It involves sustained, gentle pressure to stretch and soften the area.
Soft tissue release (STR) combines precise pressure with active or passive stretching to break down adhesions and relieve tension within muscles and tendons. By targeting specific muscle fibres while lengthened, this technique improves flexibility, range of motion, and neuromuscular efficiency.
Muscle energy techniques (METs) are advanced, gentle techniques that use client muscle contractions against a practitioner’s resistance to mobilise joints and stretch tight muscles. METs are especially beneficial in improving functional movement and correcting postural issues without causing additional strain.
Percussion and tapotement techniques use rhythmic tapping, pounding, or cupping movements to stimulate the nervous system and enhance blood flow. Percussion and tapotement techniques help “wake up” the body before physical activity.
