Sports massage is effective in removing the build up of lactic acid, and treating soft tissue injuries

These common injuries can be intensely painful and lead to more serious problems if not treated. Muscle imbalances can be addressed and the muscles released by specific bodywork skills.

A Sports Massage may involve treating the entire body as part of a training routine, or treating a specific area due to a particular muscle strain or injury. It is used in a healing capacity to help with aches and pains and assist the body's natural healing from within.

Massage Appointments

If you have plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, tight calf muscles or similar issues, or if you are recovering from an injury, we recommend 2 - 4 weekly sessions initially. If you are fit and healthy, a monthly massage session will help you stay that way.

Pre event: Marathon, Triathlon or Cycle Race

It is important to receive treatment prior to the race, as it will help warm up the muscles by stretching them and making them more flexible for optimal athletic performance. It is best performed 2 days prior to the race.

Post event: Marathon, Triathlon or Cycle Race

This focuses on relieving muscle soreness, helping to reduce any swelling and fatigue and decrease any stress in the body.

And...

You dont' have to participate in a sporting activity to have a sports massage. If you sit at a desk all day, dig the garden at weekends, or play sport at a high level, if you strain a muscle the nature of the damage to tissues is the same regardless of how it happened. People from all backgrounds can benefit from the Profeet sports massage.
