How Can Sports Massage Help Your Wider Wellbeing And Performance?
We are proud to offer Sports Massage at our Basingstoke Chiropractic clinic.
Sports massage can be incredibly beneficial for relieving aches and pains after exercise. However, sports massage can do so much more. Whether you’re an athlete, a regular gym-goer or sports player, or perhaps just want to look after your body, a sports massage could be a key part of your self-care checklist for your wider wellbeing.
Sports Massage is focussed on your wider performance and wellbeing
Feeling comfortable, happy and healthy are all essential for your wellbeing. However, it can be hard to do this if you have niggling pain, uncomfortable muscle aches, or reoccurring injuries. This is why it can be so important, not just for your sports performance but also for your whole health, to look after your physical condition. What’s more, it can work really well alongside your Chiropractic care: We find that regular massage care can really boost the effectiveness of your ongoing Chiropractic care and regular Chiropractic care can boost the effectiveness of your ongoing massage care!

There is a strong link between your physical condition and mental wellbeing. Physical activity, for example, releases feel-good hormones in the body while also helping to manage levels of stress and anxiety. If you are suffering from pain or discomfort, then you may be less likely to partake in exercise, which may mean missing out on the endorphins and stress-relieving effects of exercise.
Furthermore, your physical condition can have a big impact on your sleep. Without restful and restorative sleep, you not only put yourself at risk of further injury, but it can also have a big impact on your mental health and wider wellbeing too.
How Sports Massage Can Support Your Wellbeing
1. Relief and relaxation
If you have pain after exercising, suffer an injury or perhaps have a niggle that flares up now and again, then sports massage can be a great way to find relief for that pain. During a sports massage, our team will focus specifically on the areas that you want to address to provide relief. Often, clients will notice an instant relief as well as a long-term relief after the treatment.
It is important to note that a sports massage isn’t like a spa-day aromatherapy massage. A sports massage may include some deeper muscle work. The key thing to remember however is that it is adaptable both to your needs and preferences.
Despite it often feeling firmer, the process itself promotes a relaxation response in the body. During a massage, the heart rate often drops, the respiratory rate lowers, and the physical symptoms of stress can lower. Hurrah.
2. Increased performance
When you feel better, you perform better. From increasing your athletic performance to being able to complete everyday activities with ease, there are many benefits to taking a proactive approach with your physical condition and relieving any aches and pains before they become bigger concerns.
A sports massage after a workout can help reduce the symptoms of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and help to increase your range of movement and flexibility so that you can get back to the action quickly and safely.
3. Increased sleep quality and quantity
Another important benefit of sports massage is the fact that many people report improved sleep after a massage. Sleep is a vital component of wellbeing. By increasing relaxation and helping to alleviate pain, a massage can help to increase your sleep quality and quantity. Furthermore, studies have shown that massage can help to reduce muscle fatigue, helping you to feel rejuvenated afterwards.
