Why Sports Massage?

RealMotion Therapies believes sports massage is an integral part of the injury recovery process. Therefore, using it alongside joint mobilisations, and the prescription of rehabilitation and functional exercise ensures a holistic approach to recovery. As a result, this gives the best chance of a full return to optimal functional fitness.

Sports massage is a fantastic treatment for injury free patients who regularly train for sports or workout in the gym. Therefore, a regular massage treatment can help identify any niggles that may be forming and rectify them before they develop into an injury. A massage treatment should be a part of any active patients training plan, ideal as a rest day treat!
