At Remedial Massage Preston, we’re proud to support local athletes — whether you’re a weekend warrior or part of a club team like Preston Bullants Football Club or the Darebin Falcons Women's Football Club, both of whom we proudly sponsor for season 2025.



What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage isn’t just reserved for elite professionals (although plenty of pros swear by it). It’s a specific type of remedial massage designed to target muscles that are overused, fatigued, or tight from sport, training, or competition.


Using a mix of deep tissue work, stretching, and trigger point therapy, sports massage helps:


  • Improve flexibility


  • Speed up recovery


  • Reduce injury risk


  • Enhance performance


If you're serious about playing better, recovering faster, and avoiding injury, sports massage should be part of your training plan - just like it is for many players at clubs we work with.


Why Sports Massage Matters for Local Athletes

Here’s why so many active locals trust us at Remedial Massage Preston:


✅ Faster Recovery: Tired legs? Sore shoulders? Massage improves blood flow and helps clear out waste products like lactic acid, so you bounce back quicker.


✅ Injury Prevention: Tight muscles often lead to strains, tears, or niggling injuries. Regular treatment keeps your body balanced and more resilient.


✅ Performance Boost: When you’re pain-free and moving well, you perform at your best — whether you’re kicking goals for the Bullants or running the midfield for the Falcons.


✅ Flexibility Gains: Good flexibility means better movement patterns, less strain on joints, and improved overall athleticism.


Who Can Benefit from a Sports Massage?

You don’t have to be playing VFL or AFLW to see the benefits. Sports massage is for anyone who’s active:


  • Footballers (AFL, soccer, rugby)

  • Runners and triathletes

  • Netballers and basketballers

  • Gym-goers and CrossFitters

  • Cyclists

  • Dancers

  • Martial artists

  • Weekend warriors


Whether you’re lacing up for the Darebin Falcons, training with the Bullants, or just enjoying a Sunday footy match with mates, your body deserves professional care.
