Sports Massage Chorley

Despite the title, sports massage is not solely for athletes or anyone participating in sporting activities. Sports massage is an effective treatment for the demands placed on our bodies by everyday life. Deep tissue massages can also help alleviate issues arising from a physically demanding job, prolonged periods of sitting at a desk, or poor posture.

Sports massage in Chorley is a specialised form of massage that involves the manipulation of soft tissues to provide benefits to individuals who regularly engage in physical activities. This type of massage is intended to help address issues and imbalances in soft tissue that can arise from repetitive and demanding physical exertion as well as injuries.

The use of sports massage, both before and after physical activity, can potentially improve performance, expedite recovery, and reduce the risk of injuries. Furthermore, this specialised care can alleviate persistent issues stemming from muscle tension and ongoing stress on your joints, ligaments, and tendons.

If you feel you would benefit from a sports massage in Chorley, speak to the team here at NV physiotherapy today.

The Benefits of a Sports Massage

In the event of an injury, sports massage can facilitate the recovery process by enhancing flexibility and mobility, while also preventing the accumulation of scar tissue.

Some of the benefits of sports massage include:

  • Wider range of joint range of motion (ROM)
  • Improved flexibility
  • Heightened sense of well-being
  • Reduced muscle tension
  • Reduces the chance of injury
  • Lessens recovery time between workouts

Acupuncture in Chorley

Acupuncture, a complementary medical approach, is now being regularly delivered by physiotherapists. At NV Physiotherapists, we offer acupuncture as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies to aid in the recovery from a variety of injuries.

This treatment originates from ancient Chinese medicine, involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body for therapeutic purposes. Physiotherapists primarily employ evidence-based techniques, as research has shown that acupuncture can stimulate nerves and muscle tissue, leading to a change in the patient’s perception of pain.

If you are experiencing discomfort or pain resulting from an injury that has not responded well to conventional treatment, it’s worth considering complementary therapies. These approaches can potentially accelerate the healing process and provide relief during your treatment.

If you are experiencing any of the problems listed above and regular treatment is insufficient, please get in touch with our team about our highly effective acupuncture in Chorley.

The Benefits of Acupuncture

Many healthcare experts now endorse acupuncture because of its minimal side effects. It yields the most favourable outcomes when incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan. Scientific research supports the effectiveness of acupuncture in alleviating various conditions across all age groups, including but not limited to:

  • Back pain
  • Tendonitis
  • Neck Pain
  • Joint Pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Stress
  • Sleep Issues
  • Hormonal Issues

Testimonials

Fantastic Physio

“I saw Nathan for about 3 months due a sudden pain in my knee during a run. He is a fantastic physio and my rehabilitation was a combination of hands on therapy, exercises and weights. I am now running daily which I haven’t been able to do for years. I highly recommend Nathan.”

Completely Pain Free

“After experiencing severe pain in my shoulder when completing a pushing movement in the gym for several months, I rang NV Physiotherapy. I was diagnosed with Rotator Cuff Tendonitis and given an exercise programme as well as several sessions of Acupuncture. After a number of sessions I am completely pain free and have the ability to lift heavy in the gym.”

In depth treatment sessions

“Nathan has thoroughly investigated and explained the source of my hip and knee pain. He has helped me to understand my condition  and given me exercises to improve the pain. I have benefitted from his expert knowledge, in depth treatment sessions and am now pain free with the knowledge to prevent further injury and pain.”

Highly Knowledgeable

“Nathan is highly knowledgeable and explains everything very clearly. The exercises he has given me are simple but effective, and with his help I am recovering well. He also performed a sports massage in my first two sessions which instantly relieved a lot of my pain. The premises is clean and modern, and conveniently located in Chorley” – Sarah

Great Experience From Start To Finish

“I was referred to Nathan by my health insurer. I had a great experience from start to finish. He knows his stuff and shows genuine care. He assessed my symptoms and the underlying causes of my pain and now I’m pain free and have been for a number of weeks. Would highly recommend!” – Lucy

Would Certainly Recommend Him

“I had problems with my shoulder. Nathan was great, listened to my issues to fully understand our problems. He was attentive and dealt with it until my shoulder was healed
Would certainly recommend him” – Phil

I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and expertise. I’ve had my share of sports-related aches and pains, but after just one session with Emma, I felt a remarkable difference.They took the time to listen to my concerns and worked with me to target specific areas of tension. Their knowledge of the body and technique was evident as they expertly worked through tight muscles and knots, using just the right amount of pressure to relieve pain while also promoting relaxation.It’s clear that Emma is incredibly skilled and truly passionate about helping people heal and perform at their best.Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, I highly recommend booking a session. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, restored, and ready to take on anything!

After a recent fall I was really suffering with tendonitis in my fingers. A few sessions with Nathan and movement and pain dramatically eased. I'll carry on with the exercises I was given. Thank you Nathan

I’ve have been attending appointments with Nathan to work on my neck which was extremely tight and causing me alot of pain and discomfort.From the first appointment, my neck pain instantly felt better and knew that Nathan would be able to help me. I attended a few more appointments and in between them I managed to do my exercises that Nathan had demonstrated and gave me to do.Nathan was professional from start to finish, he’s extremely knowledgeable in his field of work and I felt so relaxed with him.My neck is so much better and I’ve found I’ve got so much more movement in it. I’d highly recommend anyone to book an appointment with Nathan.Thank you Nathan, keep up the fantastic work that you’re doing. I really can’t thank you enough!!

After struggling to walk for over a month with sciatica pain I popped into see Nathan. After the first session I could tell the difference. I'd previously been to chiropractors who had only made the problem worse so I was sceptical before I saw Nathan. He assured me he would have me back up and walking in no time and he did. I couldn't recommend NV Physiotherapy enough.Thanks again Nathan 👍
