SPORTS MASSAGE CHELTENHAM... OOO THAT'S THE SPOT!

People looking to try local sports massage are often looking for pain relief, rehabilitation and recovery.

It is common for people who book in to try treatments to be experiencing one or more of the following: neck & shoulder pain, back pain, arm & hand pain or leg & foot pain.

How can we re-energise and restore ourselves?

They may have been advised by a doctor or physiotherapist to try a more deep tissue massage like sports massage, because they have muscular tension and may have been diagnosed with something like a frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis or sciatica. Or perhaps they’ve had some recent surgery and experienced scar tissue, for example a breast cancer mastectomy, so are looking for best practice post-op.

So what’s next in the recovery journey after we’ve had medical treatment?

We often talk to people during their revitalising massage about relief from the symptoms of: rheumatoid or osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, being hunched over, postural issues and many other musculoskeletal conditions too.

Sports massage isn’t just about addressing our physical symptoms, there are huge psychological benefits to having regular therapeutic massage treatments. People say that it helps them to recoup their energy, and they report feeling a calm, relaxed energy, with better, deeper quality of sleep after their massage with us.

Most of the people who come to see us for sports massage in our Cheltenham studio are making time for themselves whilst juggling a busy life.

Do you say to yourself there’s not enough time for me?

They may be busy professionals, parents, business owners or retired people in need of ‘ME’ time.

Some of our clients have sedentary jobs and experience aches and pains. Others are runners or joggers trying to build up, cyclists or take part in specific sports and are looking to manage tightness and stiffness in their body.

“I’m feeling as stiff as a board” is a common phrase we hear.

The studio where our sports massage takes place is a calming environment, ideal for people experiencing stress, anxiety and burnout, or for neurodiverse people experiencing ADHD or autism. We are an inclusive safe space. Some of our clients are hard of hearing too, which we try our best to accommodate for that.

Our sports massage service in Cheltenham at Zigs Exercise could be the solution to feeling stiff and achy, however in our busy lifestyle some people struggle with overwhelm and honouring their ‘you’ time.

How can we give ourselves space?

By booking an appointment to talk to us and have treatments we can give ourselves the accountability that is needed for our self-care time.

Many people feel guilty or that it’s selfish to indulge, but we all know that we should put our own oxygen mask on first, which enables us to better care for others.

So, is sports massage really selfish or is it actually self-less time which puts you in a better place?

If you feel like you’re always on the go, then our sports massage treatment will reconnect you with relaxation and precious time for yourself.
