It can be carried out before, during or after playing sport or exercising. Generally, sports massage uses techniques that are designed to increase endurance and performance.

The Sporting Massage Process

Typically, Janine's sports massage treatments entail the following steps: 


  1. Assessment: Janine will evaluate your range of motion, posture and any specific areas of pain or tension to determine the best approach for the massage. 
  2. Preparation: She will usually use a combination of techniques to prepare the client's muscles for deeper work, including compression, kneading and stretching. 
  3. Deep tissue work: Janine will use deep pressure techniques to target specific areas of tension, such as tight muscles, knots and trigger points. This may involve techniques such as friction, stripping and cross-fibre friction. 
  4. Stretching: She may also incorporate stretching into the massage to help improve flexibility, increase range of motion and prevent injuries. 
  5. Cool-down: After the massage, Janine will typically perform a cool-down routine that includes gentle stretching and relaxation techniques to help you transition back to normal activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do before and after a sports massage?

    Before a sports massage, it's important to properly prepare your body for the treatment. This includes staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the hours leading up to the massage, wearing comfortable and loose-fitting clothing, and arriving at the appointment with enough time to discuss your goals and concerns with the therapist. After the sports massage, it's important to give your body time to rest and recover. This includes hydrating to help flush out any toxins that may have been released during the massage, taking a warm bath or shower to help soothe your muscles, and avoiding any strenuous activities for at least 24-48 hours.

  • Are sports massages intense?

    Sports massages are often more intense than other types of massages because they are specifically designed to help athletes and active individuals with their performance and recovery. These massages use deep tissue techniques that can be quite firm and may even be uncomfortable at times, especially if the muscles are particularly tight or sore. The goal of a sports massage is to improve circulation, increase flexibility and reduce muscle tension and soreness, all of which can help prevent injury and improve athletic performance.

  • How long do the effects of sports massage last?

    The duration of the effects of sports massage can vary depending on several factors, such as the individual's physical condition, the intensity and duration of the massage, and the type of sports massage technique used. Typically, the immediate effects of sports massage–such as reduced muscle tension, improved flexibility and increased blood flow–can last for several hours to a few days after the massage session. However, if you maintain a consistent massage schedule and incorporate other self-care practices such as stretching and foam rolling, the effects of sports massage can be more long-lasting.
