Benefits of Sports Massage in Bristol

Sports massage isn’t just for elite athletes—it’s ideal for anyone experiencing tightness, stress, or muscular discomfort. Key benefits include:

• ✔️ Relief from muscle soreness and stiffness

• ✔️ Improved flexibility and joint mobility

• ✔️ Enhanced circulation and reduced inflammation

• ✔️ Faster injury recovery and better performance

• ✔️ Reduced risk of strains and sprains
  ​

What to Expect During Your Sports Massage

Every session begins with a brief assessment to understand your specific needs and goals. Our experienced sports massage therapists in Bristol will use:

• Soft tissue techniques

• Deep pressure and trigger point therapy

• Assisted stretching

• Tailored home exercises and aftercare advice

You’ll leave feeling looser, lighter, and on track to recover or perform better.

​

After Your Sports Massage: What’s Normal?

Following a session, it’s normal to experience:

• A warm, flushed feeling (increased circulation)

• Mild soreness or tenderness (fades in 24–48 hours)

• Thirst or fatigue — stay hydrated and rest

Top tip: Take it easy for 12–24 hours post-treatment to allow full recovery.

​

How Often Should You Have a Sports Massage?

The ideal frequency depends on your lifestyle, goals, and physical activity level. Our therapists will recommend a plan based on:

• 🔹 Severity of muscle tightness

• 🔹 Training load or physical job demands

• 🔹 Injury prevention or rehabilitation goals
   

Many of our Bristol clients benefit from fortnightly or monthly treatments.

​

Sports Massage vs. Deep Tissue Massage

​

Sports massage and deep tissue massage may feel similar, but they serve different goals.

 

Sports massage is aimed at active people—it helps prevent injuries, boosts performance, and speeds up recovery. It often includes stretching and targeted work based on your sport or activity.

 

Deep tissue massage goes deeper (literally), focusing on chronic tension, knots, and postural issues. It’s great for anyone with long-term muscle tightness, not just athletes.

​

Frequently Asked Questions​

Is a Sports Massage Painful?

It can be intense, but never unbearable. We aim for a pressure level of 7/10 and adjust based on your comfort.

What Should I Wear?

You may be asked to undress to your underwear, or wear shorts and a vest/sports bra depending on the area being treated. Gowns are available.

Can It Help with Muscle Knots?

Yes—sports massage is one of the best treatments for stubborn muscular knots, especially when combined with chiropractic care.
