Posture assessment is a crucial component in sports massage therapy, helping identify imbalances and misalignments that could affect daily pain, injury risk, adapted causes of discomfort, and where applicable, athletic performance. By analysing how the body moves and holds itself, we can pinpoint areas of tension or weakness. This insight allows for a personalised massage approach that not only relieves pain but also promotes optimal body mechanics, helping to reduce pain over time as well as after your sessions.

During the posture assessment, we will examine your alignment of key body parts, including your head, spine, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet. This assessments helps to identify common issues such as forward head posture, rounded shoulders, or pelvic tilts, all of which can contribute to muscle imbalances. Addressing these problems through targeted massage techniques, stretches, and corrective exercises, improves both posture and functional movement, reducing strain on muscles and joints.

Incorporating posture assessment into sports massage provides long-term benefits. By correcting imbalances over time and improving posture, we can enhance your range of motion, flexibility, and strength, preventing injuries caused by poor alignment, and of course, reduce muscle pain. Whether you’re fatigued from genral day to day life, work, playing sports, recovering from an injury, or looking to improve performance, a comprehensive posture assessment paired with sports massage therapy is key to maintaining a healthy, balanced body.
