LOCAL SPORTS MASSAGE
What Should I Wear?
We will ask that you wear loose fitting clothes such as shorts, a t-shirt or sports vest to each appointment, but please feel free to wear anything you feel comfortable in. However, please keep in mind we will need to be able to assess your body and be able to treat areas of your body as required
Prior to any treatment, we will need to go through your medical history and any possible contraindications (they may be medical reasons that mean we are unable to massage you)
Please be honest as this is for your own safety
If you have been referred by your GP or physiotherapist then please bring your referral letter (all information is kept confidential in accordance with GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018)
What to Expect
Sports Massage Treatment in Silsden, West Yorkshire – What to Expect
Initial Assessment
We conduct an initial assessment before your first session to assess what might be causing dysfunction and pain in your body, either from everyday life or during sporting activity. This helps to guide our treatment and rehabilitation plan so that you can become pain free and avoid future injury and pain.
We will take a subjective history to identify where and why any issues may have arisen, and then undertake a targeted postural assessment as well as look at your muscle and joint functioning
The ultimate goal is to help you help yourself and so we will aim to offer any help and advice we can, along with an individualised rehabilitation/exercise plan to alleviate or rehabilitate your pain
If you would just like to attend for a single maintenance session or deep tissue treatment and do not want an initial assessment, then this can be accommodated, but we will need to check your medical history
The Sports Massage Process
Once we have carried out an assessment and devised a targeted treatment plan, the massage itself will involve warming up the muscles, helping you and your muscles to relax. We will then use a variety of massage and therapy techniques to help increase the range of motion and function of any tight/shortened muscles, aiming to restore balance to your body and improve your performance and functioning
Don’t worry, our aim is not to cause any pain or make your massage uncomfortable, but to improve your health, wellness and performance/functioning, and we will gain your feedback throughout. It’s your treatment and for your benefit
Session Follow on
At the end of the session, we can email you a personal exercise plan to help stretch and strengthen any issues identified, and assist with any rehabilitation
Side Effects
Please note that sports massage can cause some short term side effects such as nausea, skin rashes, increased tiredness, dehydration, aches and pains and bruising. Afterwards we recommend you drink plenty of water, avoid caffeine and alcohol and take plenty of rest.
