Sports Massage Belfast

What is a Sports Massage?

A sports massage is a form of massage that uses different grades of pressure to stretch out stiff and tight muscles.  

The pressure used can be light, medium or deep, depending on your own personal preferences.  

Although it is termed ‘sports massage’, it can be used for people who don’t play sport but feel the need to get their tight muscles stretched.  

What to wear to a sports massage?

It is your own personal choice what to wear for a sports massage. 

Some people like to undress to their underwear, and some people prefer to wear a pair of shorts and sports bra.  

We usually apply massage cream or oil to the area we are working on, but we can work through clothing also.  

We will leave the room and give you time to get organised. 

Once you are lying on the massage table, you will place a large towel over your body before we come back in. 

What is a Sports Massage like?

It is like other massages, however, deeper pressures can be applied if you like.  

We will ask you if you prefer medium or deep pressures before and during the session.  

Will a Sports Massage get rid of knots?

Those knots are areas of tension within specific areas of the muscles.

A sports massage is perfect for stretching out these knots.
