Sports Massage

Sports Massage. Prevention is better than cure.

Sports massage has long been recognised as a valuable intervention in both preventing and treating sports injuries, ensuring that muscles are in the best condition possible, promoting recovery and helping to improve performance.

Sports massage differs from therapeutic massage in that it is a deeper form of soft tissue massage using specific techniques to treat individuals, who may be prone to injury because of the stress placed on the body through sport or other physically demanding activities, or vocations

The Benefits of Sports Massage

Sports massage is effective for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system.

Benefits include:

Relaxing tired and aching muscles
Reducing stress and tension in the body’s soft tissues
Improving circulation and lymphatic drainage
Assisting in the removal of metabolic waste
Breaking down scar tissue

An initial consultation will be carried out to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. From this information the practitioner will tailor the massage to meet your health needs.

A course of treatments is usually recommended for optimum results but this will vary depending on your own needs. After care advice will often be provided about what you can do in between treatments to improve your condition.

Sessions last 30 or 60 minutes in duration and can be booked with Mathew Atkins, our level 4 Sports Massage Therapist, on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.

"Would recommend to anyone!"

As a social scientist I was very cynical about what I thought were unproven chiropractic methods. Now I regard them as essential in my life. I would recommend the practice to anyone.

"I positively skipped out, pain free!"

I shuffled into Andrew’s Cardiff Chiropractic clinic barely able to move without pain and after a thorough consultation and treatment process, I positively skipped out, pain free and competed in a European championship event just two days later – Genius!!

"Cannot thank you enough!"

Prior to seeing Andrew I suffered from neck pain, back ache, pins and needles in my fingers, headaches and limited head movement, since my visits all these symptoms have disappeared thanks to Andrew I now feel like a new person. A massive thank you for sorting me out.

"Worked a miracle!"

Andy is a true professional in health care. His approach is insightful and he works with total integrity. His treatments are definitely worth the 180 mile round trip!!! Thank you to Andy and his team at the Clinic.

"Would thoroughly recommend"

Andy very quickly established the cause of my problems and within a few sessions I was back to normal. In fact I felt a lot fitter and had regained full mobility. I would thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone in the same situation!
