What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage and Remedial massage play an important role in preventing and relieving existing pain or injury from physical activity.
Sports massage is generally a deeper and more intense massage than a more relaxing Swedish massage, focussing on rehabilitation and repair of the soft tissues of the body.
As a qualified and experienced massage therapist specialising in sports massage in Dunfermline, I have a deep knowledge of sport massage and remedial techniques that can help in relieving and preventing sports-related injuries.
How Does Remedial Massage Work?
Sports massage relieves pain by working with soft tissue to flush out toxins, decrease tension and spasms, as well as increasing joint range, flexibility, and mental well-being. Remedial massage involves using various techniques such as Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy Techniques and Soft Tissue Release to name a few, to help reduce any restrictions in the soft tissues and muscles, promote healing of injured muscles and increase flexibility and range of motion through the joints of the body. Sports and Remedial massage can be more specific to the muscles used by athletes, or anyone with the potential for muscle strain caused by physical activity. So for example, focussing more on various parts of the body needing treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Sports Massage and Remedial Massage?
The benefits of Sports and Remedial massage for athletes, and everyone who undertakes physical activity, are many:
- The reduction of recovery times after exercise, competition or injury.
- Helps to reduce pain after injury.
- Promotes the increase of range of motion in synovial joints.

- Helps to reduce musculoskeletal restrictions that may affect the function of the body
- Increases lymphatic drainage and blood flow around the body aiding in the removal of toxins and bringing oxygen to the area to promote healing.
