Move More, Pain Free

Sports Massage

What is a Sports Massage?

Sports massage therapy and deep tissue massages are amongst some of the services we can provide in our Sheffield clinic. Sports massage is a form of massage therapy that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of athletes. It can be used to treat injuries, prevent injuries, and improve athletic performance.

While personal trainers are great for helping you achieve your fitness goals, they are not always the best option for people who have chronic pain or injuries. Sports massage can be more beneficial than a personal trainer because it will provide relief from the pain and stiffness in your muscles. Made to Move focuses on giving clients what they deserve and need.

Benefits of a sports massage

A sport massage therapist is a qualified health professional who will work on the muscles of your body, focusing on the areas that are most tense or overused. We will use techniques such as deep tissue massage and stretching to help reduce any muscle tension and pain.

The benefits of a sport massage are numerous and varied, but they all come down to one thing – reducing muscle tension. This reduces stress and can also help you sleep better, which in turn helps your muscles recover more quickly from exercise. A sport massage can also be used to relieve chronic pain caused by conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.

This type of massage also has the potential to decrease anxiety and depression levels in athletes.

Having a sports massage showcases many benefits:

Injury/Re – injury prevention.
Injury recovery.
Decrease in muscle soreness/stiffness after physical activity.
Increased levels of relaxation.
Reduction in physical and psychological stress levels.
Increased flexibility.
Increased sense of well-being.
Aids sleeping better.
And much more…

Sports massage client receiving treatment

As always the level of service was of the highest quality, this was my first visit during the new Covid and the room was clean and steps taken to ensure your safety. Rory was quick to pin point where exactly the pain from my injury was and followed up with some exercises which have helped me ease the pain and gain more freedom in my mobility as I was loosing sleep before. Would 100% recommend Made to move Sheffield.

Thomas

Visited made to move with knee & hip pain when running. Rory listened & assessed my injury in a friendly & professional manner, went on to give a thorough 4 wk programme. On completion has meant I can now run completely pain free. I am now back up to distances of 17km and entered a marathon, all of which would not have been possible without visiting made to move! I would recommend to anyone, thank you.

Claire

Over the years I have seen many therapists and physios but never had the same experience as what I have had at made to move! Rory is full of knowledge and not only do you get hands on treatment but vital aftercare which is necessary for recovery! After one treatment on my neck and shoulder my headaches have finally gone but know what I need to do to prevent this from happening in the future! Thank you!

Made to move really helped me over the lockdown period with one to one coaching via video. Rory really is great at his job and has helped me move better and become pain free in a long term Achilles injury. Highly recommend to anyone at reasonable price and professional help. Thank you!

They have been fantastic throughout this lockdown, allowing me to continue training by supplying me with training programs I can do at home, highly recommend to anyone!

Made to Move have helped me many time times with persistent ankle and shoulder pain when exercising. After a brief mobility test, a sports massage and a 4 week strengthening program, I have seen these aches and pains completely disappear. Amazing service at a very reasonable price.
Thank you!
