SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a specialised massage technique designed to help active people recover faster, move better and

perform at their best. Whether you're training for a marathon, lifting weights, playing team sport or simply living an

active lifestyle, sports massage can help reduce muscle tension, improve mobility and support recovery between

sessions.

​

At JP Bodywise, sports massage isn't a standalone treatment. It's one of the many techniques that may be incorporated

into your remedial massage session following a thorough assessment, ensuring your treatment is tailored to your body

and your goals.

​

Who is sports massage for?

Sports massage isn't just for elite athletes. It's suitable for anyone who regularly places physical demands on their

body,  including:

• Gym-goers

• Runners

• CrossFit athletes

• AFL, football and basketball players

• Cyclists

• Swimmers

• Weightlifters

• Tradies and physically demanding occupations

• Anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle

Whether you're preparing for an event, recovering from a hard training block or managing ongoing muscle tightness,

sports massage can help keep your body performing at its best.

​

How does sports massage work?

Sports massage uses a combination of techniques to target the muscles and tissues under the greatest physical demand. Depending on your assessment and goals, treatment may involve deeper tissue work, trigger point therapy, stretching, joint mobilisation or other remedial massage techniques.

Treatment can be beneficial:

• Before training or competition to prepare the body for performance

• After exercise to assist recovery

• During heavy training blocks

• During rehabilitation from injury

• As part of an ongoing maintenance routine

Every treatment is individualised—there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
