Frequently Asked Questions

What makes sports massage different from regular massage?

Sports massage focuses on muscle function, performance, injury prevention and recovery, targeting specific muscles and movement patterns rather than general relaxation.

Can non-athletes benefit from sports massage?

Yes, anyone experiencing muscle tension, postural strain, or reduced flexibility can benefit, whether a competitive athlete or someone who sits at a desk for long hours.

What are the main benefits of sports massage therapy?

These can include reduced muscle tension and stiffness, improved flexibility and range of motion, better circulation, reduced recovery time, and improved posture and movement patterns.

Is sports massage painful?

It can be more intense than relaxation massage, particularly on tight muscles or chronic injuries. Treatment stays within your tolerance, and your therapist will adjust pressure to suit you.

How soon before or after a workout should I book a session?

Both are beneficial - pre-event massage is typically lighter, preparing muscles for activity, while post-event massage supports recovery and flexibility. We can advise on timing for your training schedule.

Can I get a sports massage while recovering from an injury?

Yes, often as part of a rehabilitation programme. Techniques are adapted to your stage of healing following assessment.

Are there any conditions when sports massage isn't advised?

Yes, including acute infections or fever, deep vein thrombosis, certain skin conditions, recent fractures, some cardiovascular conditions, and uncontrolled medical conditions. A health screening is completed beforehand to check suitability.

How often should I have a sports massage for optimal performance?

This depends on your activity level and training intensity; some athletes benefit from weekly or fortnightly sessions during busy periods, others from monthly maintenance.

Do you combine sports massage with chiropractic or physiotherapy?

Yes, sports massage often works well alongside chiropractic care and other treatments to support mobility and recovery.

Do you offer weekend or emergency sports massage appointments?

Possibly, subject to practitioner availability, please contact us directly to discuss current options at our South Croydon and Wing Yip Centre locations.
