BOC SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a deep form of soft tissue mobilisation. A sports massage can be applied in a sporting and non-sporting context. It involves a wide range of techniques applied to specific joints, muscles groups, tendons, ligaments and soft tissue groups, that are most affected by the patient’s demanding lifestyle or sport.

Who can benefit from sports massage?

Various individuals can benefit from sports massage, including:

Athletes: Both amateur and professional athletes can enhance performance, improve recovery times, and prevent injuries through targeted muscle relaxation and tension relief.
Recreational Sports Participants: Individuals who engage in regular physical activities, such as running, cycling, or weightlifting, can benefit from sports massage to alleviate muscle soreness and maintain flexibility.
Individuals with Chronic Pain: Those suffering from chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia or arthritis, may find relief through the targeted techniques used in sports massage to address specific muscle groups.
Post-Injury Rehabilitation Patients: Individuals recovering from injuries can use sports massage as a part of their rehabilitation process to improve circulation, reduce scar tissue formation, and restore mobility.
Occupational Athletes: People whose jobs require physical labor or repetitive movements (e.g., dancers, construction workers) can benefit from sports massage to reduce muscle tension and prevent overuse injuries.
Sedentary Individuals: Even those who do not engage in regular physical activity may benefit from sports massage for issues related to poor posture or muscle tension caused by sedentary lifestyles.
Older Adults: As muscles and joints can become stiff with age, sports massage can help improve mobility and decrease discomfort in older adults.

Types of sports massage treatments at BOC

Soft tissue massage

Soft tissue massage focuses on joints and soft tissue to reduce muscle tension and pain. It involves stretching the muscle fibers to promote circulation, increase flexibility, alleviate pain, and decrease tension

Deep tissue massage

After extensive or repetitive use of muscles, the fibers can become damaged and toxins can accumulate. This inflammation of muscles in the deep layers of the body can cause pain, discomfort, and stiffness. Deep tissue massage targets these issues by applying pressure (known as stripping) using the elbows or hands, and also by using the fingers to apply pressure onto individual fibers to ease tension.

Whole body massage

A relaxing whole body massage such as Swedish massage can be used in sports massage therapy to treat athletes in between games as a therapeutic aid to calm the body and mind. These types of massage typically include effleurage and strokes to boost relaxation.
