My specialized sports massage treatments are designed to help you achieve peak performance, accelerate your recovery, and prevent injuries, using a range of techniques to address your specific needs.

What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a highly specialized form of massage therapy that focuses on the unique needs of physically active people, whether you’re a competitive athlete, a regular gym goer, or just looking for pain relief. Unlike a general Swedish massage which is focused on relaxation, sports massage uses a variety of techniques to target deep muscle tissue, reduce tension, improve flexibility, and enhance performance in sports and daily activities. Whether you’re training for a marathon, a local event, or simply looking to improve your physical well-being, a sports massage at Zen Den Worthing can be a game changer.

Benefits of Sports Massage at Zen Den Worthing

My tailored sports massage treatments offer a variety of benefits, such as:

Injury Prevention

By addressing muscle imbalances, tightness, and trigger points, I help reduce the risk of strains, sprains, and other common sports related injuries. I also focus on lifestyle and postural advice to help prevent future problems from reoccurring.

Improved Performance

Through targeted soft tissue work, range of motion is increased, muscle function is optimised, and any restrictions in the body are released, allowing athletes to perform at their best.

Faster Recovery

Reduce post-workout soreness, stiffness, and inflammation to help accelerate your muscle recovery, allowing you to train more frequently and more effectively. I also use specific techniques to flush out metabolic waste and encourage new blood flow.

Pain Relief

Alleviate discomfort from overuse injuries, repetitive strain, and chronic muscle soreness. I can also alleviate pain caused by bad posture and muscle imbalances.

Enhanced Flexibility

Improve your flexibility and range of motion, allowing for smoother, more efficient movement. I will also discuss how your joints and flexibility can be improved over the long term.

Stress Reduction

Help reduce muscle tension, stress and anxiety, promoting better mental and physical well-being. I ensure that you feel as relaxed as possible throughout your treatment.
