Massage Therapy

Here at Fortis Health & Wellbeing in Langham, Colchester, our massage therapist specialises in sports massage therapy.

What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. However, sports massage isn’t just for athletes! It can be beneficial for anyone with injury, irritation or tension as it is simply a deeper form of soft tissue mobilisation.

Unlike relaxation massage, sports massage targets specific muscle groups to address issues such as tightness, tension, and injury prevention.

Benefits of Sports Massage

  • Enhanced Performance: By improving blood circulation and flexibility, sports massage can help you to perform at your peak.

  • Faster Recovery: Sports massage can accelerate the healing process by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation after intense physical activity.

  • Injury Prevention: Regular sports massage can identify and address muscle imbalances and tightness before they lead to serious injuries.

  • Stress Relief: Beyond physical benefits, sports massage promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.

Our Approach

At Fortis Health & Wellbeing, our certified sports massage therapist will combine her expertise in physiotherapy with sports massage techniques to deliver comprehensive and personalised treatments. Whether you’re a professional athlete, fitness enthusiast or not active at all, we can tailor each session to target your specific needs and goals.

Techniques

  • Deep Tissue Massage: Targets deeper layers of muscle tissue to release chronic tension and alleviate pain.

  • Trigger Point Therapy: Focuses on releasing tight knots (trigger points) within muscles to improve range of motion and reduce discomfort.
