The Benefits of Sports Massage

Sports massage can help to prevent injury, enhance performance, release tense muscles, and speed up recovery. It can be useful before and after physical activity - before to prep muscles and boost flexibility, and after to ease pain, help circulation, and speed up recovery.

Enhance performance: sports massage can improve overall performance by increasing muscle flexibility and muscle strength, helping to maximise movement and range of motion.
Prevent injury: sports massage targets areas prone to strain or overuse, which can help prevent injury. This is especially beneficial for us active New Zealanders who like high-impact sports like mountain biking, snowboarding, team sport or long-distance running.
Speed up recovery: sports massage boosts circulation and releases tight muscles, helping you to recover faster from intense activity. This can help speed up recovery time, getting you back to your peak form and ready to go again.
Ease pain & discomfort: when you’ve been pushing your body to the limit, the high of meeting your athletic milestones is often followed by stiff and painful muscles. Sports massage after intense activity helps to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
Promote relaxation: While focusing on the physical body, sports massage also promotes relaxation and assists rest.
