Sports Massage
Dural
For clients who are professional athletes or exercise regularly, a sports massage is a highly beneficial treatment aimed at reducing the amount of stress in soft tissues, stimulating the muscles and stretching the limbs so you can perform at your athletic peak. Simply Health and Wellness offer professional sports massage in Dural for local residents, as well as those living in the surrounding suburbs of Glenhaven and Castle Hill.
What Is Sports Massage Therapy?
When we exercise or engage in sports frequently, the soft tissues in our body can accumulate stress and tension leading to soreness and an increased risk of injury if left untreated.
A sports massage works to reduce this build-up by manipulating the deep tissues and muscles in the body and making it easier to move freely and prevent further damage down the road.
Some of the top benefits of receiving a sports massage include:
Stretching the body to improve flexibility
Preventing muscle soreness after exercise
Decreasing swelling
Increasing blood circulation
Improving heart rate and blood pressure
Alleviating pain caused by sports-related injuries
Preventing further sports-related injuries
How is pregnancy massage different from regular remedial massage?
The primary way in which pregnancy massage differs from remedial, is in the techniques and strokes used by the therapist. Pregnancy Massage predominantly uses gentle Swedish Massage techniques, which involves long, slow sweeping strokes with minimal pressure. Many of the techniques used in Remedial Massage are unsuitable for pregnancy. Pregnancy Massage in Trimesters 2 and 3 is primarily offered in the side-lying position, for optimal comfort and safety of Mum and baby.
What are the Benefits of pregnancy massage?
The focus of pregnancy massage is to help soothe and relax nervous and muscular tension, which can help the mother sleep more easily and more deeply. Pregnancy massage may also help to ease any anxiety regarding pregnancy and birth by soothing and calming the parasympathetic nervous system.
Massage helps the mother’s body to eliminate waste products through the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which combat fatigue and helps the mother feel more energetic.
Common pregnancy discomforts, such as hip or lower back pain, leg cramps, muscle tightness, thoracic and neck tightness, headaches, oedema causing sore swollen ankles and feet and decreased range of movement, can also be eased with Massage.
Pregnancy Massage offers the mother time to embrace her pregnancy, rest and recharge.
Follow up appointments:
Pregnancy Massage is a beautiful way to support yourself and your body as it changes through your the pregnancy, so it is beneficial to have regular massage throughout, to address the different needs each stage may bring.
It works well to align your pregnancy massages within the following days of each appointment with your chosen healthcare provider (Midwife, Obstetrician, etc…) . This way, your pregnancy massage therapist has the most up to date information with regards to your pregnancy at each appointment.
A full client history will be taken at the beginning of every Pregnancy Massage to ensure we accommodate and discuss any changes that may have occurred once your last appointment.
Is Massage safe in pregnancy?
When carried out by a trained professional, massage is very safe and very beneficial in pregnancy.
What if I start to feel uncomfortable during my pregnancy massage?

What Does Sports Massage Therapy Involve?
Unlike a typical Swedish massage that’s designed to help your body relax with gentle strokes, a Sports massage will often be more vigorous and involve deeper, faster strokes and applied pressure to the problem areas.
The focus is always on the treatment and prevention of sports injuries. Our highly qualified and experienced massage therapists use a range of effective techniques to achieve amazing results, such as Facilitated Stretching, Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release.
The aim is to stimulate tired, stressed muscles and joints, repair tissue damage and fast-track the healing process so you can get back to exercising quicker.
