Flex Sport Massage

If your lower back keeps tightening up, your glutes may be part of the problem.

Lower back and glute tightness are often closely connected and rarely exist in isolation.

When glute function is reduced, hip mobility becomes restricted, or movement patterns become inefficient, the lower back is often forced to compensate. Over time, this can present as persistent tightness, stiffness after sitting, discomfort during training, or recurring niggles that never seem to fully resolve.

At Flex Sports Massage, we don't just chase the painful area. We assess how the body moves to identify the structures contributing to the problem and treat the source of the restriction.

Targeted sports massage may help:
✔️ Reduce excessive tension in the lower back and glutes
✔️ Improve hip and pelvic mobility
✔️ Restore more efficient movement patterns
✔️ Improve comfort during training and daily activity
✔️ Support recovery and performance

The body works as a system. When one area loses efficiency, another area compensates.

Move better.
Recover smarter.
Perform stronger.

🏃‍♂️ Comrades runners, are you ready for race weekend?

Make sure your legs are in top-performing shape before you take on the Ultimate Human Race.

Your calves play a critical role in running efficiency, force production, and shock absorption over every kilometre. When they're tight, fatigued, or restricted, performance can suffer.

A sports massage can help reduce muscular tension, improve mobility, and ensure your muscles are prepared for race day.

Train hard. Recover smart. Arrive ready.

🚴‍♂️ Performance is built during training. Adaptation happens during recovery.

At Flex Sports Massage, we utilise a combination of Sports Massage, Kinetic Heated Scraping Therapy, EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), and Percussion Therapy to assist cyclists in managing training load and optimising recovery.

🔥 Heat Therapy
The application of heat increases local tissue temperature, promoting vasodilation and improving tissue extensibility. This can assist in reducing muscle stiffness and preparing restricted tissues for treatment.

⚡ EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
EMS creates controlled muscular contractions that may assist with neuromuscular activation, circulation, and recovery. It can be particularly beneficial for underactive muscle groups and post-training recovery protocols.

🔧 Kinetic Heated Scraping Therapy
Targeted scraping techniques combined with heat may help reduce myofascial restrictions, improve soft tissue mobility, and decrease sensitivity within trigger points. This allows for improved movement quality and reduced mechanical tension through the affected tissues.

💥 Percussion Therapy
High-frequency mechanical stimulation helps increase local blood flow, reduce perceived muscle tightness, and prepare tissues for movement or recovery sessions.

🤲 Sports Massage
Sports massage aims to address areas of increased muscle tone, soft tissue restriction, and movement dysfunction. By restoring tissue mobility and improving movement efficiency, cyclists may experience improved comfort, recovery, and performance.

Potential benefits for cyclists include:
✔ Improved tissue mobility
✔ Reduced muscular tension
✔ Enhanced recovery between training sessions
✔ Improved neuromuscular function
✔ Better movement efficiency on the bike
✔ Reduced perception of muscle soreness
✔ Support for long-term performance and training consistency

Because better movement creates better performance.

Cycling shouldn’t leave your back feeling broken. 🚴‍♂️⚡

Long hours in a flexed riding position can place constant stress on the lower back, upper traps, thoracic spine, and surrounding muscles. Over time this can lead to stiffness, tension, reduced mobility, headaches, and even decreased power output on the bike.

At Flex Sports Massage, we don’t just chase the pain — we assess movement, posture, muscle tension, and riding demands to help identify what may be contributing to the problem.

Sports massage may help:
✔️ Reduce muscle tension and tightness
✔️ Improve thoracic mobility

Your power starts at the hips.
Tight hips, overloaded quads, and restricted hamstrings can reduce pedalling efficiency, limit power output, and increase stress on the knees and lower back while cycling.

During cycling, the hip flexors and quads work repeatedly through thousands of pedal revolutions, while the hamstrings assist with hip extension, stability, and force transfer. Over time, fatigue, reduced mobility, and muscular tightness can alter movement patterns and affect performance.

At Flex Sports Massage, our treatments are designed to support cycling performance through targeted recovery and movement-focused treatment.

Sports massage may assist with: ✔️ Reducing muscular tension and stiffness
✔️ Improving tissue mobility and flexibility
✔️ Supporting circulation and recovery
✔️ Assisting movement efficiency on the bike
✔️ Reducing post-ride tightness and fatigue

Whether you’re training for performance, stage races, long rides, or simply trying to stay pain-free on the bike — recovery matters just as much as training.
