Sports Massage Solihull

In some cases depending on your issue, a sports massage can be painful. However our team is trained to use a variety of skills and techniques to warm up the areas we are working which will reduce the level of pain. We also aim to never go over an 8 out of 10 pain, so in the main the treatment is enjoyable and bearable.

As our team is very experienced in this area of massage, there are usually little to no side effects. The worst side effects we see can sometimes be a reddening of the area treated, maybe in some cases some bruising. There may also be an element of soreness for a few days post treatment, but again this depends on the severity of your issues and the treatment used.

Our team will first conduct a thorough assessment of your needs and the benefits you seek from your treatment. They will then look through your history if this is a chronic injury that is recurring and then will devise a treatment plan. This may involve regular sessions and also some home self care and rehabilitation. This will all be discussed with you in your initial consultation.

Sessions can vary in length depending on your preferences and schedule. Our sessions typically range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes, although longer sessions may be available upon request and we usually advise a 1 hour session for your first visit.

We usually require your to undress down to your underwear for most full body treatments. That said if we are only working on one area of the body, we will only require clothing to be removed from this area. We do also use towel techniques to make sure you are fully covered at all times.

From time to time most issues can be sorted in one session if these are minor problems. However, most people will require multiple sessions and in most cases on going regular maintenance sessions are a great idea.
