Sports Massage
There is often confusion around Physiotherapy treatment vs Sports Massage and which practitioner will be able to provide the right treatment for acute pain or injury. The short answer is both!
Your Shepherds’ Health Physiotherapists and Sports Therapists are highly educated in dealing with musculoskeletal disorders, treating pain and injury through hands-on treatment thus restoring quality of life by maintaining and maximising movement and relieving pain.
Once you have had your initial assessment, we will know exactly whose healing hands to place you in.
Sports massage treats:
- Injury pain/tightness issues are discussed and followed by postural assessment and functional movement screening.
- Any form of pain/injury can be treated.
- Reduced ROM can also be treated – a possible predictive marker for future injury.
- Any musculoskeletal issue/injury/pain/tightness symptoms can be alleviated through the use of fascia adhesion breakdown and myofascial release, allowing correct functional properties of tissue and joint to recommence.
- Frequency of treatment is 1-2 sessions per week.
- Session length – 30 mins, 45 mins or 1 hour.
