LACs FAQs - episode 2: Does Sports Massage need to be painful?

This is a question that gets asked a lot, and a lot of patients believe that it does need to be painful to be effective, whether that’s from stories they have heard, or previous (bad) experiences.

I may be in the minority with my opinion, certainly judging by some social media posts, but I believe that NO, Sports Massage does not need to be painful to be effective.

There may be some points during your massage that can be uncomfortable. But this should always be done within your tolerance. At no point should you be shouting out in pain, moving away from the pressure or holding your breath whilst the pressure is applied.

Pregnancy massage is a specifically adapted treatment, tailored to suit expecting mothers. It uses more gentle and soothing techniques than standard massage, aiming to ease pains and facilitate relaxation.

As with a standard massage, you’ll be asked to position yourself in a comfortable position for the areas of the body we work on. This will mostly be done whilst lying on your left side, but may also be done in a seated position, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy. We will use extra cushions and bolsters to ensure you are comfortable throughout your appointment. Extra towels/ blankets will also be used to ensure you are warm and comfortable.

We are happy for you to bring your partner along to your appointments should you wish to.

Deep Tissue Massages have a number of benefits, including relief for muscle pain and stiffness, reducing stress, improving circulation and enhancing flexibility.

It’s important to remember that this style of massage SHOULD NOT be painful. A little discomfort can be fine, but feeling too much pain can mean you don’t get some of the benefits from the massage.

Available at our home clinic (Sandbach) and for mobile appointments.
