Sports Massage

Pain got you feeling not-so sporty?

Dealing with a chronic or acute sports injury can really affect future mobility and fitness if left unchecked. Our fully qualified Sports Therapists will work with your body to relieve pain and increase your mobility, using safe and proven techniques within the comfort of one of our well-equipped treatment rooms in Enfield.

 

At Maresia Spa & Massage, our Sport Therapists understand the need to apply a holistic approach to your treatment, focusing on both the source and cause of your pain, whether an acute injury or the build up of repeated movements which have led to the pain. Upon consultation, you will be given advice on what treatment will work best for your specific problem, answering any questions or concerns you may have. We will then work with you to restore your compromised muscles to their natural state, with advice on how to avoid injury and maintain a healthy musculature, before, during - and after - your fitness regime.

 

What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage involves the use of applying different levels of pressure on the affected muscles, allowing them to relax and repair, speeding up the recovery process. This type of massage is more focused than other types of massage, such as Thai, Swedish, or Hot Stone Massage, targeting specific muscle groups connected with the source of the pain.

 

Regular sports massage is recommended by sports professionals, as it improves circulation and enables the body to break down scar tissue, speeding up the recovery process. At Maresia Spa & Massage, our therapists provide advice on when and how often your therapy should take place, to ensure that you get the best from our treatments.

 

Types of Muscular Trauma

When considering treatment and prevention, it’s useful to know the type of injury you have. Acute injuries are usually suffered by a single, traumatic event, such as going over on your ankle or lifting weights without due preparation. Examples of acute injuries are ankle sprains, torn ligaments and dislocations. Overuse Injuries usually occur over time, when muscles are repeatedly subjected to trauma without the chance to recover; common overuse injuries include Runner’s Knee (interestingly, swimmers, tennis players and even non-sports players can get this!) Shin Splints and Achilles Tendonitis. Very often, muscle strain occurs as a result of over-compensating for an injury elsewhere in the body; at Maresia Spa & Massage, we take time to get to the root of the problem and treat the source of pain as well as the cause, to ensure optimum recovery.
