What conditions can sports massage help with?

Sports Massage – Benefits and Areas of Application

A key advantage of sports massage is its effective prevention of sports injuries. Particularly when the body is inadequately prepared for upcoming physical activities, sports massage significantly reduces the risk of injury.

Following intense physical exertion, this method supports rapid recovery of muscles and the entire body. It helps prevent muscle cramps and promotes the elimination of lactic acid (lactate) and other metabolic byproducts. Through targeted relaxation of muscle tension and stiffness, sports massage quickly restores the body’s full performance capacity.

How does a sports massage at Origin Massage in St. Gallen work?

Sports massage is beneficial not only for professional athletes but also highly recommended for recreational sports enthusiasts. It is particularly useful before demanding sporting events such as marathons, competitions, or long-distance cycling tours. The massage treatment is tailored specifically to the type of sport: for sports requiring quick and intensive muscle contractions (e.g., sprinting), muscle tone is deliberately increased. In endurance sports, on the other hand, muscle tone is reduced to optimize performance.

Athletes whose bodies are subjected to uneven or repetitive stress from their particular sport also greatly benefit from sports massage, as it aids not only physical recovery but also deep mental relaxation.

How often should you have a sports massage?

At the beginning of your therapy, your therapist will conduct a detailed initial consultation lasting about 5 to 20 minutes. During this discussion, your health status and individual goals will be comprehensively reviewed.

Afterward, you will have the opportunity to comfortably change and position yourself on the massage table.

The subsequent massage is customized according to your individual needs. Throughout the session, your therapist remains available for questions and feedback.

At the end of the session, you can arrange additional appointments for ongoing treatment as needed.

Duration & Booking

The sports massage usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes. If you have any questions or uncertainties about the sports massage, please contact us by phone on +41 (0) 44 500 02 53 or by e-mail at info@origin-massage.ch.
