Sports and therapeutic massage at Neo Sport Clinic in Olomouc is delivered by the same physiotherapy team that supports SK Sigma Olomouc and HC Olomouc athletes — meaning session protocols are designed around athletic tissue demands, injury prevention, and performance recovery rather than general relaxation. Manual techniques including deep-tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and lymphatic drainage are combined according to the athlete's training phase, injury history, and clinical assessment. Massage is typically integrated into the wider physiotherapy programme and can be coordinated with adjunct modalities such as deep oscillation and magnetotherapy in the same visit.
About this treatment
Therapeutic massage at Neo Sport Clinic forms part of an integrated sports medicine offering delivered from the clinic's physiotherapy suite in Olomouc. Unlike general wellness massage, the sessions here are conducted by physiotherapists with specific training in sports anatomy and musculoskeletal rehabilitation — the same professionals who manage return-to-sport programmes for professional football and ice hockey clubs.
The technique selection varies significantly by clinical context. Pre-competition sports massage focuses on neuromuscular activation and superficial tissue preparation to optimise movement quality and reduce injury risk in the 24–48 hours before a game or race. Post-competition recovery massage uses slower, broader effleurage and petrissage strokes to accelerate metabolic waste clearance from fatigued muscle tissue, reduce delayed onset muscle soreness…
Lymphatic drainage massage — using both manual and device-assisted techniques — is used for post-surgical edema, post-injury swelling, and chronic lymphoedema in the limbs. It follows precise anatomical drainage pathways to redirect interstitial fluid toward functional lymph nodes, reducing swelling measurably within a course of sessions.
