Sports Recovery 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?
Sports massage is a style of deep tissue massage that focuses on treating soft tissue injuries that are common in sports.
Sports recovery massage also effectively alleviates delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles 12-72 hours after exercise (but can last for longer), particularly after starting a new routine or increasing intensity, due to micro-tears in muscle fibres and resulting inflammation.
Deep tissue massage, performed in any style, has been shown to alleviate tension, boost circulation (which delivers nutrients and aids the removal of waste products), reduce inflammation, and increase flexibility, to facilitate a faster recovery.
Raynor Massage For Sports Recovery
Raynor massage is a style of deep tissue massage that also reduces tension, boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, increases flexibility, promotes recovery of soft tissue injuries, and is effective as a sports recovery massage in alleviating DOMS.
Unlike a sports massage that is focused only an area of injury, Raynor massage is a holistic therapy that continues to seek and eliminate tension and discomfort throughout the body (full-body massage). It can be a valuable part of any fitness programme as it will promote faster recovery, reduce the chances of injury, and improve performance.
​
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, deep tissue massage and stretching techniques are used to target areas of tension and tightness. Very often, the cause of pain is tension from above or below the area of discomfort along what are referred to as bands of tension. 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. This can make it more effective than a conventional sports massage that tends to concentrate on a small area and leave seemingly good areas of the body alone; it is not uncommon for people to later report discomfort in an untreated area after the acute discomfort has reduced in a treated area. Which is why a full body massage is often better than isolated localised treatment.
​
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.
