GT Sports Massage Therapy is mobile and clinic-based in Gloucester, specialising in the assessment, treatment and management of soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal issues and persistent pain. Amanda will help you to take control and understand your injury better so you can return to activity more successfully.
A sports/deep tissue massage can be beneficial whatever your age or level of activity. You can get aches and pains or injure yourself from any of your daily activities. Within a sporting environment it can be used to improve performance, aid recovery from a training session or speed up rehabilitation from an injury.
When you arrive for your appointment we will discuss your specific needs and goals. A full assessment is done to identify the likely causes of your pain and the treatment is adapted to exactly what you need. You are encouraged to take an active role in your recovery where appropriate, so after your treatment you may be given specific stretching and/or strengthening exercises that you can do at home to support your treatment plan.

SPORTS AND REMEDIAL TREATMENT
Treatments are 30 - 60 minutes long and your first appointment starts with a detailed consultation and assessment, as we try to determine the likely cause of your pain. Each subsequent visit includes a discussion on how you feel things are progressing and to answer any questions you may have.
The range of motion through your joints is assessed and you will be guided through some simple tests to check for signs of weakness, tightness and instability - the three main culprits of physical pain. Often, the area where the pain is felt is not where the problem lies.
My approach is to focus on the muscles that have restricted range of motion. Manual therapy plus other advanced techniques are used to work on reducing your symptoms and help you feel better. You may be asked to move position several times during the treatment and any part of your body that is not being treated is covered.
MAINTENANCE MASSAGE TREATMENT
This type of massage takes place in between training sessions where the aim is to work on specific elements and tissue structures which have become shortened, tight and painful. The idea is to loosen off tightness within soft tissues so as to improve performance and prevent injury.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET TREATED
A maintenance sports massage can be anywhere from once a week to every two to three months. This will largely depend on how much training the individual is doing as well as the type of training and the intensity of it.
What is a pre event sports massage?
Pre event massage is undertaken before a workout, competition or sporting performance. The aim of pre event massage is to increase blood circulation, flexibility and mentally prepare people for activity and enhance performance. Pre event massage is a short and specific massage treatment.
What is a post event massage
A post massage is performed from 30 minutes up to 72 hours after competition or activity. Many massage techniques are utilised to increase blood circulation, remove metabolic waste and calm muscles down after activity. Post event massage uses light pressured techniques alongside passive stretching to help regain normal muscle resting lengths after strenuous exercise. A post event massage helps treat and prevent delayed onset muscles, fatigue and tightness.
What to expect with relaxation massage in Gloucester
Relaxation massage is all about promoting relaxation and providing you with an opportunity to unwind from the stresses of daily life. You can expect a treatment that involves
- Rhythmic and Flowing: Long smooth gliding strokes that are rhythmic and flowing.
- Deeply relaxing: Pressure that is deeply relaxing, but not painful.
- Soothe and relax: A treatment that is designed to soothe and relax you, not to relieve chronic pain or other underlying ailments.
How does relaxation massage help?
At our clinic in Gloucester, relaxation massage is a smooth flowing massage. It’s the systematic and specific manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles of the body, enhancing the well-being of the entire person, relieving stress, and improving blood circulation and movement of lymph fluids.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is a wonderful treatment, especially for people who enjoy the feeling of instant warmth. Smooth Basalt stones are used to massage you and the heat radiates through the layers of muscle in your body. This produces a soothing and deep massage effect.
Hot stone massage can be provided as a back massage or a full body massage. It is a highly effective treatment, helping with the reduction of tension, aches and pains.
What are the benefits?
- Instant heat, providing a warm feeling for the client, can aid relaxation
- An instant stress-reliever due to the sedating effect on the nervous system
- Allows for deep and even pressure
- Deep heat aids the alleviation of muscle tension and aches and pains
- Increases blood flow, thus bringing new oxygenated blood to tissues and removing waste products effectively
- Increases the flow of lymph, helping the body to rid itself of toxins and to aid the immune system
- Improved circulation of blood and lymph also improves skin tone and muscle health
- Localised rise in body temperature increases cellular metabolism (in that area)
- Encourages the client to ‘let go’ as eases tension
- Can be a much more effective treatment than a standard massage due to the heat and its effect on the body systems
