Sports Massage / Deep tissue massage
We have experts in Sports Massage at My Physio. Whether you have a tight muscle, are recovering from an injury or just feel like you need a massage, we have team members who can help you out. Sports Massage gets right into the muscles and includes stretches and recovery advice. It is particularly good for someone who has been working out, wants to increase performance or recover from an injury. Sports massage focusses on enhancing circulation, increasing tissue elasticity and reducing muscle tension. Depending on the reason for your visit, our therapists will mould the treatment to your requirements.
You can have a sports massage with any of our therapists without having seen a physio first, you can book directly on our website and often we can get you booked in relatively quickly.
Pregnancy Massage
Safe from the second trimester onwards, prenatal massage supports pregnant women in managing pain and discomfort that can come with pregnancy as well as simply helping mum (and baby!) to relax and may even improve sleep quality.
During pregnancy our bodies go through a lot; the added weight puts pressure on our joints and even the simplest of tasks can leave our muscles aching. Massage can relieve these aches and reduce the discomfort that pregnant women tend to experience in their lower back, hips and legs. In addition, it can alleviate the tension-related headaches.
Many women suffer with swelling due to the 50% increased blood and fluid production during pregnancy. Massage enhances blood flow, which in turn reduces swelling which often occurs in the face, hands, ankles and feet.
In addition to the massage, our therapist can offer advice on gentle movements and stretching to keep mum more comfortable.
