At our Ulverston clinic, Sports Massage is not just for athletes. Everyone can feel the benefits.
Sports Massage involves the hands-on treatment of painful, weak or tight soft tissue such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. Pressure can be released to allow ease of movement.
Your Sports Massage will be tailored to you with an understanding of your body and any problems you may have. With high pain levels, gentle massage will reduce discomfort, whereas a deeper massage will wake up tight, stiff muscles. Massage can also boost circulation to help heal damaged muscle tissue and prevent further injury.
Maybe you know what works for you through previous massages, or if not, then benefit from Michael’s experience to advise on whether you need a deep tissue or gentle massage to achieve your desired results.
The right combination of massage techniques can be used to drop your pain levels before working on the deeper muscles and tendons to restore strength and mobility. This will take pressure off painful areas and release built-up tension.
With less tension and discomfort and with your muscles working more efficiently, we're here to get you feeling good and ready to perform at your best.
Massage can be used to speed up recovery of new or persistent injuries. It may help to settle pain and get you moving more freely. Based in Ulverston, Sports Massage can improve circulation in both the lymphatic and vascular systems, helping to speed up tissue healing and recovery time.
Massage can be used with the aim of improving performance in the build up to a sports event. Deep massage can be used to stimulate muscle fibres through the action of mobilizing and manipulating the muscles with the thumbs, wrist and elbow. The purpose of this is to stimulate muscular activity to make the muscles flexible, strong and reactive. We use a Sports Physio approach to assess which muscles need this deeper technique. The aim is to get you moving freely, with agility and strength so that you can perform at your best.
The hands-on mobilization and manipulation of muscles can stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation. This may promote quicker recovery from intense physical activity by flushing out lactic acid and speeding up repair of damaged muscle fibres. This makes Sports Massage a useful treatment for anyone recovering from a sporting event.
It’s common to suffer from muscle stiffness and aches and pains at different times of life and a regular massage can be a real treat for your body and even your mind. The aim is to get you feeling freer, lighter and more flexible so you can go about your daily activities with ease.
Your Sports Massage will be delivered by either Michael Otto as a specialist physiotherapist or a qualified sports massage therapist. If it is felt that your problem needs more than a Sports Massage, such as a full physio assessment, or any other course of treatment, you will be advised of this at the time.
