as well as specific stretching techniques to release trapped
muscle tissue.
Sports massage is fast becoming the treatment of choice
for many different reasons including injury, stress and
headaches. The benefits are vast and are used by all
different people whether they are sporty or not.

James Grigg Centres at Salisbury City FC
“James Grigg Centres are responsible for the medical department at Salisbury City FC where sports massage is used frequently”
Sports massage is a key component used within the medical department at Salisbury City FC. It is vital in helping to prevent injuries, aiding recovery from lactic acid build up, improving flexibility, reducing headaches and areas of tight knots.
Why is sports massage called “sports” massage?
The reason why sports massage is called “sports” massage is because it originated in sport. Athletes have exactly the same muscles as non-athletes so it is completely normal to have a sports massage if you don’t play sport. In all honesty it is probably more beneficial to non-sporting individuals to have regular sports massages. This is because non-sporting individuals often have more muscular knots and tightness than athletes.
So can you have a sports massage if you don’t play sport, absolutely!

Sports massage for running injuries

Running injuries are more common than ever, as
the popularity of pounding the streets or treadmill
increases as a form of competition, social activity or
means of toning up those unused muscles.
Unfortunately many suffer with some common running
related injuries such as Achilles, calf, knee, thigh, hip
or back pain. Many beginner runners often stop after
only just taking up the activity due to pain or
discomfort. This is such a shame as most of these
injuries can be either avoided or cured.
Running injury?
Contact us for a video analysis

The way we run has a significant impact on the way the body functions. A poor running technique can be the cause of many running related injuries.
For example, weakness in the buttock muscles can cause the knee to fall inwards thus increasing the strain placed on the inside of the knee. Equally, a flat foot arch can cause increased strain and eventually injury on the Achilles tendon.
Video analysis of a subject running can highlight these areas and help structure an appropriate treatment plan to treat the cause of the injury.

more benefits
There are so many reasons why sports massage is beneficial
Stretching
The use of sports massage will improve flexibility that normal stretches cannot improve.
Elasticity
Hard training can cause muscle tissue to tighten up and become inelastic. Sports massage can greatly improve muscle tissue elasticity which then improves co-ordination, reaction times and agility.
Tissue permeability
Sports massage can increase tissue permeability which means valuable nutrients and minerals are more easily able to pass through to the muscles. Increased tissue permeability also helps the removal of lactic acid and other waste products that produce as a result of exercise.
Injury prevention
Sports massage greatly reduces the period of rehabilitation after suffering an injury. It also helps prevent injuries from happening in the first place.
Reduction of headaches
Sports massage is one of the most effective ways to stop headaches -
Reducing tension
Sports massage is probably the best way to help reduce built up tension especially in the neck and shoulders.
