What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a hands-on treatment technique that involves mobilising the body’s soft tissues, including the skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Originally developed to support athletes in preventing and relieving injuries and imbalances caused by repetitive or strenuous activities, daily routines, or trauma, sports massage offers physiological and psychological benefits to athletes and non-athletes alike.
My Approach
At Zoe Hills Sports Massage Therapy, I take a comprehensive approach to sports massage therapy. Time will be taken the start of each treatment to understand your individual needs, what brought you for treatment and any issues you are currently facing. My sessions include a range of techniques such as:
Direct Compression to Soft Tissue: Targeting specific areas to release tension and reduce pain.
Skin Manipulation: Using techniques like squeezing and rubbing to improve blood circulation and relax muscles.
Compression: Applying pressure to problem areas to alleviate discomfort and promote healing.
Cross-Fiber Friction: Addressing deep-seated issues by targeting muscle fibres from different angles.
Benefits of My Sports Massage
My sports massage therapy is a deeper tissue massage than a relaxing massage. It is designed to deliver numerous benefits, including:
Pain Relief: Alleviating pain and discomfort caused by muscle tension and injuries.
Relaxation: Inducing a sense of relaxation and reducing anxiety and stress.
Increased Flexibility: Enhancing your range of motion and mobility.
Prevention of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness): Minimising post-exercise soreness.
Improved Blood Flow: Enhancing circulation to promote healing and recovery.
Scar Tissue Breakdown: Breaking down scar tissue for improved muscle function.

Whether you’re an athlete preparing for a competition or simply seeking relief from everyday muscle tension, I have the expertise to provide tailored solutions for your unique needs.
Rehabilitation Sessions
Rehabilitation sessions are also included with this service. These are a tailored series of stretches and movements in order to help improve injuries, prevent reinjury, or to aid long term pain. Programmes will be set for you as an individual and can be set for you to work on in your own time, or can be booked as part of your follow up treatment. We can spend part or all of your session focusing on your rehabilitation plans.
