Sports & Remedial Massage
Targeted massage therapy to enhance athletic performance, speed up recovery and release deep-seated muscle tension.
What Is Sports & Remedial Massage?
Sports and remedial massage is a specialised form of massage therapy that focuses on the muscles, tendons and fascia involved in physical activity and everyday movement. Unlike a relaxation massage, it targets specific problem areas using deeper pressure and advanced techniques to address the underlying cause of pain, stiffness and restricted movement.
At Fenland Physio, our massage sessions are delivered by skilled clinicians who combine their understanding of anatomy, biomechanics and injury management to achieve results that go far beyond what a standard massage can offer. Sessions are fully adaptable — whether you are an elite athlete, a weekend runner or a desk worker suffering from chronic tension.
Types of Massage We Offer
Sports Massage
Designed for active individuals, targeting overworked muscles and addressing imbalances caused by training loads. Ideal before events to prime muscles and after events to aid recovery.
Remedial Massage
A clinical approach used to treat specific musculoskeletal problems such as chronic neck pain, tension headaches, lower back tightness and restricted joint mobility.
Deep Tissue Massage
Firm, focused pressure applied to deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release persistent knots, adhesions and areas of chronic tension.
Myofascial Release
Gentle, sustained pressure applied to the myofascial connective tissue to eliminate restrictions and restore pain-free movement and flexibility.
Benefits of Sports & Remedial Massage
Reduces Muscle Tension
Breaks down adhesions and releases knots in overworked muscles for immediate relief.
Speeds Up Recovery
Improves blood circulation to deliver nutrients and remove waste products from fatigued tissues.
Enhances Performance
Maintains muscle pliability and joint range of motion for optimal athletic output.
Reduces Stress
Decreases cortisol levels and promotes relaxation, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.
Prevents Injury
Regular massage identifies and addresses tight areas before they develop into more serious injuries.
Relieves Chronic Pain
Effective for long-standing conditions such as tension headaches, back pain and postural problems.
Who Can Benefit?
Sports and remedial massage is suitable for almost everyone — from competitive athletes to individuals with desk-based jobs, and from post-surgical patients rebuilding strength to older adults managing chronic stiffness. Our therapists tailor the pressure, technique and focus areas to suit your specific needs and comfort level.
Common presentations that respond very well to massage include lower back pain, neck and shoulder tightness, IT band syndrome, hamstring strains, calf tightness, tension headaches, piriformis syndrome and general muscle fatigue from overtraining or repetitive strain.
