What is post-event sports massage?

Post-event massage can speed up recovery and alleviate pulls, strains and soreness. Whenever we put our muscles under stress through sport, small amounts of swelling occur due to tiny tears in the muscles fibres. Post-event massage utilises therapeutic techniques to address any areas that might be sore or tight. Benefits can include:

• Assisting recovery

• Increasing nutrient and oxygen to the muscles

• Realignment of muscle fibres

• Physical and Psychological restoration

The post-event massage usually occurs within 24 hours after the event and is 60-90 mins long depending on the sport and the individual.
