Sports Massage
"I get massages almost daily. Sometimes I fall asleep during the massage, but it’s very important to have deep-tissue massages because that type recovers muscles best.”
– Ana Ivanovic
(former No. 1 world tennis player)
Are you looking for a Sports Massage?
If you are looking for a massage to help you recover from training or a sports injury, then a Raynor Massage could be the answer...
Sports massage is a type of deep tissue massage that is primarily used to enhance sporting performance and the treatment of musculoskeletal issues such as strains and sports injuries. Physiotherapists and massage therapists are often seen at high level sporting events, employed as a support member for elite athletes and teams. They may give a warm up massage prior to an athlete taking part in a major competition, with cooldown rubs right after and maintenance therapy during training to speed up recovery. It is also an effective remedy for delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) which is due to micro tears in muscle fibers along with a buildup of lactic acid and other waste products that solidify to form into what is commonly known as a knot.
Deep tissue massage, whether by a physiotherapist or massage therapist, is proven to reduce tension in muscles, release knots, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products. It promotes recovery and reduces the chances of injury.
Raynor Massage For Sports Recovery
Raynor massage is another style of deep tissue massage. It predominantly uses Eastern philosophy, with its very long track record, and Western evidence based knowledge, to find and reduce tension, and increase flexibility. Like sports massage it also helps to reduce DOMS, releases muscle knots, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products. It too promotes recovery and reduces the chances of injury.
​
Many professional and amateur athletes have reported profound benefit and improved recovery times from a Raynor Massage. But you don't need to be an athlete to appreciate this style of deep tissue massage, maybe you have overdone it whilst gardening or sat at a computer for too long - musculoskeletal pain is usually caused by doing too much too often or too little for too long.
​
During a Raynor Massage session, the therapist uses deep pressure and stretching techniques to target areas of tension and tightness. Very often, the cause of pain is tension from above or below the area of discomfort. By working on these other areas in addition, rather than only working a smaller area in isolation, it avoids overworking the site of pain and causing it to become more sensitive.
​
Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, stress reduction, or simply want to enhance your overall well-being, Raynor Massage offers a comprehensive and effective approach to massage therapy.
