Can Sports Massage help my injury?
Yes it can. Sports massage has been proven to reduce recovery time, sometimes dramatically, by shortening the time it takes for injuries to heal, and makes the after effects "better". Sports Massage reduces the swelling and Oedema associated with soft tissue injuries. After a serious injury, Sports Massage helps form strong pliable scar tissue instead of the usual random stiff scar tissue, so that range of motion and tissue extensibility are maintained.

Some of the benefits of Sports Massage:

• Reduces injury healing time.
• Maintains or increases movement.
• Helps to reduce swelling and Oedema.
• Helps to form soft, pliable scar tissue.
• Eliminates splinting in associated muscle tissue.
• Helps get the athlete back into action with less chance of re-injury.

Should I have a Sports Massage regularly?
That depends on factors such as how much you train, whether or not you have chronic pain or acute injury, and other factors. For some athletes, a weekly massage gives great results. Other athletes only get an occasional Sports Massage if they have a problem.

Will just one Sports Massage "make me better"?
Sometimes. If you have tightness in your neck or shoulders for instance, you will feel a difference after one treatment. This may not last long term as it probably took you an extremely long time to get that way. It's unrealistic to expect a permanent 'fix' from one Sports Massage.
