Sports and Remedial Massage
At Matlock Physio
Ease tension. Improve recovery. Move better.
At Matlock Physio, our sports & remedial massage is more than just relaxation. Using advanced techniques, we help release tight muscles, improve mobility, and support faster recovery.
Who is it for?
Sports & remedial massage isn’t just for athletes. It’s ideal for:
- Runners, gym-goers, and active people
- Office workers with stiff necks, shoulders, or backs
- Anyone recovering from strenuous activity or long hours on their feet
- People wanting to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries
What techniques do we use?
Every massage is tailored to your needs and may include:
- General Massage Techniques – flowing strokes and pressure to reduce soreness, improve circulation, and aid recovery.
- Trigger Point Therapy – targeting “knots” that can cause pain and tension, helping them release.
- Soft Tissue Release – a hands-on method combining gentle pressure and movement to ease tight muscles and improve flexibility.
- Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) – gentle guided movements where you contract and then relax a muscle, allowing a deeper release.
- Mechanical Massage Device – used where needed to provide deeper muscle release and improve circulation.
This clinical approach makes our massage especially effective for recovery, performance, and long-term muscle health.
