It goes beyond relaxation to target specific areas of discomfort or dysfunction.

While both sports and therapeutic massages aim to alleviate muscle tension and improve overall well-being, they serve slightly different purposes.

Sports Massage

1. Designed for athletes and physically active individuals.
2. Focuses on injury prevention, recovery, and performance enhancement.
3. Uses deep tissue techniques to target overused or stressed muscles.

Therapeutic Massage

1. Suitable for everyone, regardless of fitness level.
2. Targets soft tissue issues caused by stress, injury, or chronic pain.
3. Emphasises healing and relaxation alongside pain relief.

At Massage Putney, we provide both therapeutic and sports massages, ensuring that every client gets the treatment they need, whether they’re a professional athlete or someone seeking relief from daily stress and discomfort.

Therapeutic massage can address a wide range of physical and mental health concerns. Here are some common conditions treated:

Back Pain

Chronic or acute back pain caused by poor posture, stress, or injury can be alleviated through targeted massage techniques that release tension in the muscles.

Sports Injuries

Muscle strains, sprains, and overuse injuries respond well to therapeutic massage, which aids in faster recovery and reduces inflammation.

Stress and Tension

Tight muscles and physical discomfort caused by stress can be relaxed, improving both physical and mental well-being.

Sciatica

Massage therapy helps reduce sciatic nerve pain by releasing tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and legs.

Joint Stiffness and Mobility Issues

Therapeutic massage improves flexibility, reduces stiffness, and restores normal movement in the joints.

If you suffer from any of these conditions, our massage therapists will tailor the treatment to address your specific needs effectively.

Our highly qualified therapists use a range of techniques to ensure optimal results. Some of the most common techniques include:

Deep Tissue Massage

Focuses on releasing deep muscle tension by applying firm pressure to specific areas. It’s particularly effective for chronic pain and muscle knots.

Trigger Point Therapy

Targets “trigger points” or tight muscle areas that cause referred pain. Pressure and release techniques help relieve these points effectively.

Myofascial Release

Involves gentle stretching and manipulation of the fascia (connective tissue) to relieve stiffness and improve mobility.

Swedish Massage

A combination of gentle and firm strokes that promote relaxation and improve circulation, ideal for stress relief.

Soft Tissue Mobilisation

Techniques that improve soft tissue function by breaking down adhesions and improving blood flow to the affected areas.

Each session combines these techniques based on your specific condition and goals, ensuring a holistic and effective treatment.

For most people, scheduling a therapeutic massage once every 2-4 weeks is ideal for maintaining physical and mental well-being.
