When should I have a sports massage? And how often?
How often you should have a massage treatment will depend on your individual needs. Aurora Sports Massage works with you to create an individual treatment plan to match your needs.
​
Sports massage can be effective during preparation, training, competition and recovery - though the emphasis of the massage will vary for each stage. Some reasons you should have a sports massage include:
Routine maintenance: regular massage tailored to your specific requirements based on your activity level or sport. Regular massage can help improve your range of movement and flexibility, and helps prevent injuries.
Preparing for competition or events: pre-event massage can assist with warm-up and increase circulation. Post-event massages assist with your body's recovery process by reducing muscle spasm and metabolic build up.
Rehabilitation: if you're returning to training following an injury, sports massage can aid healing and help reduce discomfort. It can also be effective in treating chronic or acute injuries. ​
