What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a form of targeted therapy that uses specialised techniques to release tension, improve flexibility, and support the recovery of overworked muscles. Unlike a general relaxation massage, sports massage focuses on specific muscle groups — ideal for treating pain, injuries, or tightness caused by physical activity.
Common methods include:
- Deep tissue manipulation to release chronic tension
- Trigger point therapy to reduce pain and improve circulation
- Assisted stretching to enhance range of motion
- Myofascial release for soft tissue recovery
Each session at The Wellness Barn is tailored to your needs, with a focus on achieving practical, physical improvements — not just temporary relief.
