Sports massage

Think sports massage is only for professional athletes? Think again. For women 40+ navigating perimenopause and beyond, sports massage is one of the most effective tools for maintaining an active, pain-free lifestyle.

What exactly is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a therapeutic technique that targets the specific muscle groups and movement patterns your body uses most. Unlike relaxation massage, sports massage is results driven, focused on improving your body's function, preventing injury, and enhancing recovery.

​

Why your 40+ body needs this type of care

​

As oestrogen levels fluctuate during perimenopause, your muscles and connective tissues change.

 

You might notice:​

  • Increased stiffness, especially in the morning​

  • Longer recovery times after exercise​

  • New areas of tension you've never experienced​

  • Greater susceptibility to strains and overuse injuries

Why Sports Massage?

Sports massage addresses these changes head-on by:


1.   Preventing injury before it happens. Your changing hormones affect muscle elasticity and joint stability. Regular sports massage maintains tissue health and identifies potential problem areas before they become a problem.


If you're new to strength training, sports massage helps your body adapt to new movement patterns and increased demands safely.


2.   Accelerating recovery when your natural recovery slows down, sports massage steps in to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and help you bounce back faster.


3.   Improving movement quality. Tight, compensating muscles lead to poor movement patterns and eventual pain. Sports massage restores proper muscle function so you can move the way your body was designed to.

What to expect in your session? 

Each session is tailored to your current activity level, goals, and any areas of concern.

 

I use a combination of techniques including deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and mobility assessment to ensure you leave feeling better than when you arrived.


This isn't about "no pain, no gain." It's about strategic, effective work that gets results.
