Sports Massage in Cambridge...How do we help?
We offer expert Sports Massage, we listen, we use years of experience and thousands of hours in clinic to identify the cause of pain; help improve symptoms, educate patients on why they're in pain and how to successfully manage their symptoms through rehab and self-treatment techniques.
At HeadStart Clinics you receive a full and thorough assessment, we take a complete medical history including any previous treatment you’ve received. When our therapist has completed their examination they will discuss your treatment plan.
…here’s the important bit
One size does not fit all
Every treatment plan for patients coming through our Clinic is unique to you. One size does not fit all. You may require a series of Strength & Conditioning sessions before any therapy begins. Or the level of pain dictates that techniques like MET and trigger point therapy are the first part of treatment, either way its your goals that drive our treatment.
We want to know 'why' you're in pain, its not about just treating the symptoms, we want to cure the problem. That way you can get the treatment you deserve.
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is deep tissue massage and other hands on techniques to help stretch & mobilise your body and reduce pain. We use a range of techniques at the clinic from traditional deep tissue massage to trigger point therapy, stretching and taping.
Often associated with professional athletes, sports massage benefits many other people too. So, whether you’re preparing for a sports event, injured from exercise or sore from the stresses of everyday life, sports massage releases and loosens your muscles. Basically sports massage helps you and your body feel looser, less stressed and ready for action – whether that’s on the track, in the gym or at the office.
