Sports Massage and Injury Therapy
At FLEXION, we provide expert sports massage in Rotherham, designed to benefit anyone involved in physical activity. By manipulating soft tissues—such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments—our sports massage promotes relaxation, reduces stress, improves circulation, and helps correct imbalances caused by strenuous activity or trauma. Whether before or after exercise, sports massage can enhance performance, aid recovery, and prevent injury, making it a key part of any athlete’s routine.
Rehabilitation for Common Sports Injuries
Pre & Post Event Massage
Prepare for your big event or race with a pre-event massage, designed to warm up your muscles and get your body ready for action. Ideal for marathons, triathlons, or endurance challenges, this massage boosts circulation and primes your muscles. After the event, a post-event massage aids recovery by relaxing the muscles, helping reduce soreness, and improving overall recovery.
​
Dry Cupping
Dry cupping involves placing plastic or glass cups on the skin and creating a vacuum to increase blood circulation. This technique promotes oxygenation, nutrient flow, and the removal of chemical irritants from muscles and fascia. It enhances mobility, reduces muscular tension, and helps manage pain by relieving nerve compression.

​​Dry Needling
Using sterile, thin needles, dry needling targets tight muscle bands to release tension and alleviate pain. By releasing Myofascial Trigger Points, it improves mobility and reduces conditions like muscle spasms, headaches, joint pain, and sciatica. It’s effective for overuse injuries, plantar fasciitis, and tendinopathy.
Posture Screening
Posture screening helps identify imbalances in your body by assessing your alignment, muscle bulk, and joint mobility. By evaluating muscle strength and range of motion, this screening highlights areas of tension and imbalance, allowing for targeted treatments to improve overall function.
Sports Massage for Injury Prevention
A deep tissue massage targets deep layers of muscle and the surrounding tissues. People may choose this type of massage to treat sports injuries or chronic pain.

-

I contacted Flexion after injuring my lower back in the gym. Dean came highly recommended; he assessed the damage and explained what needed to be done. He has also given me tips on strengthening the affected area, avoiding subsequent injury.
Highly recommended.
