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.

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
