Sports Massage Melbourne

After receiving a sports massage from one of the team at Melbourne Muscular Therapies you will immediately realise why so many AFL and Olympic athletes come to our clinic for treatment even though they have massage and myotherapy services available to them for free.

The core difference is that we all come from a sports background, we have received hundreds of sports massages from so many different therapists. Therefore we know the frustration of receiving a sports massage where the therapist does not concentrate and release the tension where we need it the most.

Over a period of more than ten years we have constantly carried out sports massage on each other, with every massage critiqued to ensure that no single muscle fibre is left with any form of tension.

We have also perfected our sports massage techniques by receiving critique from AFL footballers, Olympic track athletes, marathon runners, long distance runners, rowers, swimmers etc. This ensures that no matter what sporting background you come from, we guarantee we will give you the best sports massage you have ever received.

The real reasons our sports people keep returning for massage:

Our sports massage techniques are extremely unique, we use a bees wax formula in preference to oil allowing the therapist ultimate control with every stroke. We can slow down and generate just the right amount of pressure to alleviate pain and tension right where most sports people need it the most.

Our sports massage techniques are all dedicated to expanding connective tissue (mainly fascia) throughout the body and restoring it back to it’s natural state.

Typical sports massages consist of quick strokes trying to increase blood flow to the area, which from our experience only plays a minimal part in enhancing post sports recovery, sports enhancement and maintaining optimal sports performance levels.

Our massage strokes and extremely slow and engaging, which by nature slow down the patients heart rate and nervous system sending them into an extreme mediative state of relaxation.

The reason we love receiving this sports massage treatment so much and why our athletes rave about our treatments is not just because they feel amazing physically, but because it completely rejuvenates them mentally as well. They walk away feeling fresh, recovered and ready to put 100% into their next sports session.

And no matter if your competing in sports on the big stage or just a weekend warrior like most of us isn’t your mental state is just as important as how you feel physically?
