Sports therapy can play a vital role in the life of everybody, whether you are carrying an injury preventing you from carrying out your daily tasks, an aspiring athlete seeking injury prevention or you are involved in elite level sport and looking for an edge to keep you at the top of your game.
Sports therapy is not just to treat and rehabilitate sporting injuries, everybody can benefit from sports therapy even if your injury is not sporting related.
Sports massage in particular is known to have the following benefits:
enhanced relaxation
reduced muscle tension
improved range of movement
scar tissue reduction
accelerated rehabilitation by raising blood circulation to the affected area
mitochondrial development to promote muscular strength – increasing power
When the human body is carrying a muscular-skeletal injury the bodies natural response is to restrict range of movement and become tense. With sports therapy and a range of treatments available including Acupuncture, Dry Needle Therapy, Myofascial Dry Cupping, Stretch Therapy and Trigger Point Release we can begin the process of easing the muscular tension, enhance nutrient rich blood flow to the injured area and improving your range of motion.
Following your treatment patients leave The Montpellier Clinic with a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that includes exercises to improve strength in the injured muscles, ligaments and tendons as well as a stretching plan to improve range of motion around the relevant injury. A treatment plan will be discussed to arrange follow up appointments and ensure you continue on your journey to being pain free.
