What makes our sports therapy team in Nottingham the best?
Our sports therapists bring more than just experience in sports massage to the table. We begin by selecting only the finest sports therapists from some of the UK's most prestigious universities. These recruits hold a comprehensive three-year degree, equipping them to diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries. Following their academic training, they gain an additional two years of practical experience working with elite athletes in premier league football clubs, rugby teams, or other top-tier sports environments. Afterward, we put them through another rigorous two years of training, covering advanced techniques such as mobilisations, cupping, and dry needling/medical acupuncture. This thorough preparation ensures that every client feels well-cared for and secure in our hands.

Benefits of sports massage
Sports massage isn't just for elite athletes or people who exercise regularly. Everyone can experience pain whether that's joint or muscular, whether it is from sports or simply sitting at a desk, standing for long periods or lifting heavy items. We spend more time at work and putting our body into unatural positions and putting it under signifiant pressures not to mention poor postural positions, repetitive tasks. All of these normal day to day things can lead to muscular imbalances, tightness or bio-mechanical dysfunctions. So let's talk more about the benefits of sports massage and how our team can help?

What techniques do our sports therapists use?

Thumb Frictions - Thumb frictions is a sports massage technique where the thumbs apply deep, circular pressure to specific areas to break down scar tissue, adhesions,muscle knots, and enhance tissue mobility
Advanced Sports Massage Techniques:
Trigger Pointing - Trigger pointing is a sports massage technique that involves applying focused pressure to specific tender points in muscles to alleviate pain and release tension.
Soft Tissue Release (STR) - Soft Tissue Release (STR) is a sports massage technique that combines muscle stretching and targeted pressure to release tightness, improve flexibility, and restore normal function to affected soft tissues.
Muscle Energy Therapy (MET) - Muscle Energy Therapy (MET) is a sports massage technique where the therapist uses the client's active muscle contractions against resistance to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall flexibility.
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) - Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a sports massage technique that targets specific muscle groups and their associated nerves to address pain, release muscle tension, and correct postural imbalances through precise, focused pressure.
