Sports Massage FAQs
Everything you need to know before booking your Sports Massage at The Farm Studio.
Who is Sports Massage for?
Sports Massage isn't just for athletes. We see clients for injury rehab and prehab, exercise recovery, work-related pain and tension, and general muscular stiffness or discomfort.
Do I need to be injured to book?
Not at all. Sports Massage can also be used to support recovery, reduce muscular tension and complement your regular training or activity.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first appointment includes an assessment as well as treatment. We'll talk through your symptoms, injury and medical history, lifestyle and physical activity so your therapist can understand what may be contributing and plan the most appropriate treatment.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing or appropriate shorts that allow your therapist to assess and treat the area you're coming in for.
Your therapist will explain anything else needed during the appointment and make sure you're comfortable throughout.
What does the treatment involve?
Treatment may include Sports Massage alongside other soft tissue techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point work, muscle energy techniques, stretching and exercises.
Your therapist will choose the approach according to what they find in your assessment and what you're hoping to achieve.
Will Sports Massage be painful?
It doesn't need to be excessively painful to be effective. Pressure and techniques can be adjusted to you and the area being treated.
Please let your therapist know how the treatment feels so they can adapt it as needed.
Can Sports Massage help with an injury?
Yes, it may form part of your rehabilitation depending on the injury and stage of recovery. Our therapists can also incorporate stretching, exercises and rehabilitation advice where appropriate.
Can I combine Sports Massage with Pilates?
Absolutely. Many clients use both, and our Sports Therapists and Pilates instructors can work alongside one another where this is useful for your individual needs.
How do I book?
Sports Massage appointments are booked online through Momence.
