At Perth Wellness physiotherapists are trained to work alongside our massage therapists. We are trained in human function and movement.
Our physiotherapists have four years of training in soft tissue manipulation and can also screen for other serious conditions and make recommendations to the therapist. We can focus on the areas of the body that are overused and stressed.
We are able to focus on those muscles that are most affected by your particular sport of choice. Sports massages can reduce your recovery time for maximum performance.
What to Expect from a Sports Massage
When you have a sports massage treatment, you are optimizing your mind and body to be the best competitor you can be. While sports massages can be relaxing, much of it is focused on the deep tissue areas and might leave some soreness.
At the beginning of your appointment, your posture will be assessed. Your therapist will also assess your range of motion by asking you to stretch in various ways. Your pain levels will be discussed. Your medical and massage history will be discussed.
Many people see little difference between deep tissue massages and sports massages. Sports massages do have real components of deep tissue work, but the massage itself also has components of the long slow relaxation techniques found in Swedish massage.

What to Know About Sports Massages
Massage has been incorporated into training programs everywhere. From weekend warriors, to high school basketball teams to Olympic teams, to professional sports clubs. The benefits of this massage have proven to be numerous.
The deep tissue aspects of sports massage can ease myofascial tensions, cramping, and the tightened muscles that many athletes endure. The more relaxing aspects of it help the athlete calm themselves both mentally and physically. The massage focuses on the areas that need the most attention.
Sports massage is not just for athletes though. This very focused type of massage can help anyone experiencing muscle pains. While sports massages have not been embraced by everyone, it’s popularity continues to grow as more and more athletes experience the benefits of it.
So whether your athletic prowess ends with the occasional game of tennis to the weekly battering taken by professional Rugby players, sports massages may very well help you feel better.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”color-220487″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fperthwellness.com.au%2Fservices%2Fmassage-frequently-asked-questions%2F|||”]Frequently Asked Questions[/vc_button][vc_column_text]
