Sports massage in Gothenburg

Introduction
Athletes and sportsmen and women know how important it is to take care of their bodies in order to maintain a high level of performance. If you are training for a sport or activity that requires a high level of physical performance, sports massage can be a great addition to your preparations. Sports massage prevents injuries and speeds up the body’s recovery processes.
The FasciaClinics in Gothenburg focus on treating the body’s fascia. Fascia is the body’s largest organ. It penetrates and connects everything in the entire body. All muscles, organs, joints, bones etc. are connected by this tissue. The fascia allows everything in our body to communicate with each other.
Fascial therapy is thus an integrated and complex treatment method that aims not only to relieve pain but also to improve function and reduce recovery time. Compared to sports massage, which focuses on the musculoskeletal system, fascial therapy aims to treat the whole body. With the fascia connecting everything in the body, other systems cannot be ignored. With our expertise, you can feel confident that you are getting the best possible treatment.
What is sports massage?
The difference between regular massage and sports massage
Classic Swedish massage often focuses on reducing stress and increasing relaxation. Sports massage is more intense. It is a more in-depth form of massage that works on muscle tension, increases circulation and speeds up the body’s recovery. A sports massage therapist uses a range of techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and various stretching methods. Sports massage can be quite painful. The harder massage strokes can also put a lot of wear and tear on the masseur’s body.
The goals of fascia treatment
Fascia therapy is more than just a ‘feel-good’ treatment; it has concrete, measurable goals. These include reducing excessive muscle tone, promoting circulation, reducing the risk of injury, and shortening recovery time. The body becomes balanced so muscles and joints can receive a more even load. By targeting the fascia, we can help athletes perform at their best, both during training and in competition.
Benefits of choosing FasciaClinics for Fascia Treatment
Individually tailored treatments
Using our in-depth understanding of fascia, we can tailor each treatment to address your individual needs. You will receive a personalized consultation where our therapists will evaluate your situation. An individually tailored treatment plan is then created. This can result in the treatment being more effective as well as well-being and performance.
How a sports massage works at the FasciaClinics
Before your first visit, you will need to fill in a health form which our therapists will have access to. The therapists can then conduct a thorough review of your medical history, your current health status and what your sporting goals are. A clear picture will also emerge of your specific needs and any problem areas that need extra attention. Your first visit will start with a consultation where we will discuss your health form and your current symptoms. We will also take and scan your balance and posture to see where imbalances and compensations exist, and how these may affect you.
The treatment process
After the consultation, we start the actual fascia treatment. The treatment is done with clothes on and no oil is used. The treatment is usually not painful, although it is very deep. Our therapists are specially trained in fascia treatment based on the latest research. The therapist uses both their hands and a Fascia Innovation machine that sends out deep waves into the body. These speed up the circulation and dissolve the tightening of the fascia. In the treatment, we also adjust the pelvis, reduce tension on the vertebrae and soften the entire shoulder area. We focus on correcting imbalances in the body so that the loads in the body become more even. A more even body reduces the risk of injury and speeds up the body’s recovery.
After the treatment
After the treatment, it is normal to feel tired and sluggish. If the therapist deems it necessary, you may be given advice and exercises to take home. This can help you maintain your positive treatment results and further improve your performance. Remember, it is important that you are willing and consciously engage daily to experience positive changes. Otherwise, there is a high risk that your problems will recur.

The wellness allowance is not only for gyms and group training. By using your contribution for fascia treatment, you are investing in your body’s long-term health and your overall well-being. This is especially useful for athletes who want to prevent injuries and improve their performance.
