What is Victory Sports Massage?
It’s the combination of many techniques mastered by our therapists used to treat anything from acute sports injuries, chronic bodily pains, specific or general tightness and tension. These techniques can be applied to treat specific acute or chronic injuries, medical conditions or can just be used to provide relaxation and alleviate stress.
These techniques include manual therapy, soft tissue manipulation, deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, deep friction, neuromuscular technique, connective tissue manipulation, trigger point therapy, acupressure and muscle energy techniques.
Unless you’ve already been treated by one of Victory’s health team (in which case you’ll already have gone through your medical history), your first treatment will involve providing a detailed medical history then a postural assessment. A postural assessment is more efficiently carried out if you are in your underwear but we can work through clothing if you would prefer. We will then endeavour to treat any specific ailments and work on postural re-alignment by loosening off certain areas of your body and advising you how to strengthen others.
Why should I use Victory?
We understand that 9 out of 10 ‘sports injuries’ aren’t caused by the respective sport. They are caused by pre-existing postural imbalances in the body which are a result of lifestyle and/or past injury.
Your muscles and soft tissue are intrinsically linked to your autonomic nervous system which controls your unconscious systems, such as digestion, emotions, stress levels and breathing. Manually releasing built-up tension in soft tissue allows the nervous system to function more efficiently. It is not uncommon for locked up, ingrained emotions to be immediately released, headaches to disperse and stomach problems to cease.
Our sports and remedial massage therapy is of a highly professional standard. Between our therapists there are years of experience and the highest sports massage qualification available in the UK.
All of our therapists share a geekish love of observing and analysing human movement and a passion for the musculoskeletal system. Please come and let us apply our techniques and experience to your body, to make a more efficient you!
Who are Victory’s Sports Massage Therapists?
All our therapists hold national qualifications in sports massage, plus other qualifications in related areas. They also undergo regular professional development sessions with Victory's clinicians, to ensure that their skills are constantly maintained and improved.
