At Progress, our dedicated Sports Massage Cambridge Clinic gives patients with sport related injuries access to specialist sports massage therapists. The clinic provides gentle massage which can improve circulation and range of movement, and relieve muscular tension.
What is sports massage?
Sports massage is a deep tissue massage that helps to loosen tight muscles and break down adhesions in muscle fibres. It can form part of your training in connection with a warm up or a cool down.
Our Sports Massage Cambridge Team can help to:
- prevent injuries
- maintain the function of muscles
- recovery from intense training
