Common Sports Injuries and How Sports Massage Can Help

Sports injuries can be frustrating and often hold you back from doing what you love. Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or muscle fatigue, it’s essential to recover properly. At Rico Sports Massage Therapy, we specialise in helping you bounce back stronger.

Most Common Sports Injuries

• Sprains and Strains: Common in athletes who push their limits, these injuries involve overstretching or tearing muscles and ligaments.

• Shin Splints: Pain along the shinbone, often caused by running or high-impact sports.

• IT Band Syndrome: Tightness and pain on the outside of the knee, common in runners and cyclists.

How Sports Massage Helps

• Reduces Inflammation: Massage improves circulation, helping to reduce swelling and promote healing.

• Eases Muscle Tension: By working on tight areas, we help restore mobility and reduce discomfort.

• Promotes Faster Recovery: Regular sessions accelerate the healing process, getting you back to your sport sooner.

If you’re dealing with a sports injury, don’t let it keep you on the sidelines. Book a session at Rico Sports Massage Therapy and take the first step toward recovery.

As an active sports competitor for over 10 years, I've faced my fair share of injuries and physical challenges.

Rico has been instrumental in mending my long-standing injuries and preparing me for my next competition. His expertise, tailored treatments, and keen understanding of an athlete's body have significantly improved my performance and recovery. I highly recommend Rico to any athlete seeking top-notch care and support.

Rico paid me a home visit and made me feel relaxed. He was able to identify the areas which needed treatment and performed a sports massage, cupping and helped me stretch the affected areas. Afterwards my back, neck and shoulder felt much better. Thank you for the visit rico
