Sports Massage
A sports massage is not only for athletes, but also ideal for people with muscle complaints due to work or daily life, such as construction workers or office workers. It is a firm massage that relaxes muscles, stimulates blood circulation and removes waste products, which reduces or eliminates pain complaints.
Sports massages can be performed before (pre-sports massage) or after exercise (post-sports massage). A pre-sports massage prepares the muscles for exertion, while a post-sports massage helps with muscle recovery and reduces muscle pain.
At Bodyland in Rotterdam, techniques such as kneading, friction, pressure points and stretching are applied. Although it can sometimes be intense, this approach helps to relax muscles, prevent injuries and accelerate recovery.
Whether you are a professional athlete, a recreational athlete, or suffer from sore muscles: the sports massage at Bodyland is completely tailored to your needs. Discuss any complaints in advance so that the treatment is exactly tailored to what you need!

Dry needling is an effective treatment method for muscle-related pain and muscle tension. Thin needles are inserted directly into trigger points (muscle knots) to relax muscles and relieve pain.

- Relieve pain: Helps with local and radiating pain from trigger points.

During a treatment at Bodyland, needles are briefly inserted into tense muscles, which can cause a slight prick or muscle reaction.
