Who Physio Performance Has Worked With

Common Questions About Sports Massage

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.  


How much is a Sports Massage?
 

Our fees range from £40-45 depending on the options you choose on your visit. 

You can take advantage of our packages to save money and feel better quicker.  

Karina our Sports Massage Therapist can also combine treatments such as myofascial release, cupping and IASTM. 


How often to get a Sports Massage?  

This is dependent on how long you have felt your symptoms for.  

After your first session, the therapist will advise on what is best for you.  


What is the difference between Sports Massage and a Deep Tissue Massage?  

There is no difference between a sports massage and a deep tissue massage.  

Both use the same techniques and grades of pressure, depending on your preferences.

Attended for shin splint issues I had gained from running and got sessions with Johnny. Was very informative in all areas including identifying the issues and its causes, treating me and giving me home and gym exercises to improve the weaknesses that had contributed to my injury and giving me pointers to avoid picking up the same injuries in the future. Additionally, while not the main purpose of a session he was able to assist and provide exercises for an unrelated injury during my session which was appreciated. Would recommend highly

I sustained a knee injury just under a month before running my first half marathon. Jonny was able to spot the problem straight away and was confident I would still be able to run the half after giving me strengthening exercises to do. I booked in again a few days before the race to make sure I was ok to to do the half and the pain was almost non existent after following Jonny’s exercise plan. I was able to do the race pain free!

Would recommend Physio Performance to any runners out there who sustain any injuries during their training plan, especially if they’re last minute ones like mine was and your confidence is knocked because of it.

Had one session with Jonny Kelly in regards to my back and leg pain and the results were very good as I was really struggling and would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
