Massage therapy in Gloucester: sports, deep tissue, remedial and relaxing massage
Whether you’re looking to relieve pain, improve your range of movement, flexibility, mobility, or performance, prevent injury, or escape the stresses of daily life and work on your mental health, we can help.
Massage therapy can help people of different ages and activity levels, whether discomfort follows everyday strain or a sports injury. Sports massage may ease muscle tension and support comfortable movement.
After an injury, healing tissue can sometimes feel tight or limit movement. Your therapist will discuss your symptoms, use techniques suited to you and, where helpful, suggest exercises to support your recovery.
- Ease muscle tension
- Support relaxation
- Help with tired or tight muscles
- Support comfortable joint movement
- Ease everyday stress
- Support recovery after activity
Sports massage therapy
Sports performers of all levels can benefit from sports massage, whether you are on or off season, in training, in the middle of a competitive event, post event (heavy training, competitive event, or marathon for example), or recovering from an injury.
Our massage therapists are highly skilled, experienced, and trained in the musculature of the body. Sports therapy promotes faster healing of strained muscles, reduces pain, and improves circulation of blood and movement of lymph fluids. This helps relieve tension, stiffness and muscle spasms, increases joint flexibility and range of motion, and improves the function of joints after injury in areas including (but not limited to) the spine, shoulders, hips and knees.
They will listen carefully to your needs and requirements, tailor a massage treatment session exactly to suit you, and provide effective aftercare guidance.
Massage therapy and chiropractic
Muscles attach to the bones and joints via tendons, so if the muscles are holding tension and are too tight, they can pull on these structures, affecting alignment and function.
This is where massage therapy and chiropractic care can work well together. Combining both treatments may support recovery in many cases.
Chiropractic care and massage therapy are compatible and share the goal of supporting your wellbeing. Both use hands-on techniques and may be included in preventative or restorative care. When appropriate, our chiropractors and massage therapists can refer between services as part of a coordinated, long-term treatment plan.
