What is sports massage like in Wimbledon?

The term sports massage covers a variety of techniques; from Swedish massage, stretching the muscles and working on trigger points; to name just a few. In short, though, the techniques are used to decrease the chances of injury and improve performance, which can help your training.

What Are The Benefits Of Sports Massage Completed at Wimbledon Clinic Massage?

Other than preventing injury and maximising performance, sports massage can decrease muscle tension, help to improve the body’s flexibility, increase the range of movement in your joints and improve your sleep quality.

All of this can play an essential part in any fitness training, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. Less pain and a better sleep pattern mean your body will be better prepared for its next workout.

This can lead to a quicker improvement in your fitness level, so your body will be better prepared to train and with less recovery time, you may be able to train more often. With fewer injuries, you won’t have to risk losing progress while taking time off from your usual fitness routine.

How does Sports Massage work At Wimbledon Clinic?

Sports massage works by getting to the deeper muscles, realigning muscle fibres, increasing joint mobility and getting blood flowing around the body and to the muscles. These are good for your body, especially if you regularly participate in sports or fitness activities.

Are there any side effects?

You may feel sore (delayed onset muscle soreness/ DOMS, similar to a post-workout sensation) for a day or two, but the benefits outweigh the potential side effects.

Some Wimbledon patrons get this, but sports people in Wimbledon rarely have an issue unless an associated trauma or scar tissue requires breakdown.

If you haven't had a massage in a long time or have forgotten to have regular muscle management, the ache is more likely. But our fabulous massage therapist in Wimbledon Clinic massage can modulate the treatment intensity based on your muscle condition
