During the session, your therapist will work closely with you to identify a particular muscle group or joint that requires attention — whether it’s tight hamstrings, restricted shoulders, stiff calves, or a problematic lower back. The treatment blends sports massage techniques such as deep tissue work, trigger point release, and myofascial release with active and passive stretches specifically suited to that area.

The stretches used may include:

1. Static stretching to improve muscle length and reduce tightness
2. PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretching to increase flexibility by alternating contraction and relaxation of muscles
3. Dynamic stretches to promote movement through a full range of motion
4. Assisted or partner stretches to deepen release safely

How Sports and Stretch Work Together

The massage component targets adhesions, knots, and muscular tension that restrict movement, preparing the muscles for stretching. The stretches then help to lengthen and realign these tissues, improving elasticity and joint mobility. This harmonious combination encourages the body to move more freely and efficiently, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing overall performance.

You will also receive a personalised stretching routine to continue at home, ensuring lasting benefits and empowering you to maintain your mobility and reduce future discomfort.
