Sports Massage Therapy

Sports Therapy Gansbaai offers world-class sports massage therapy services by Sean Brehm, a qualified personal trainer and sports therapist. 

Sean’s many years of experience have ensured he is multidisciplinary in several sports therapy techniques that he adapts to suit each client’s needs.

Benefits of a Good Sports Massage

• Maximises the supply of nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow
• Shortens recovery time between workouts
• Enhances elimination of the metabolic by-products of exercise

Swedish Massage Therapy

Sports Therapy Gansbaai offers Swedish massage therapy focussing on relaxation and stress relief.

A Swedish massage is a full-body treatment that relies on techniques including long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapotement and vibrations.

Benefits of a Swedish Massage

• Relaxes the muscles
• Releases tension
• Improve blood flow
• Reduce pain in multiple ailments

Infrared Acupuncture 

Sports Therapy Gansbaai’s infrared acupuncture treatments are used in conjunction with treatments and are non-invasive and painless.

How Infrared Acupuncture Works

The acupuncture pen is a small handheld device that stimulates the key meridian points on the body to help heal and relieve aches and pains. The difference between the acupuncture pen and traditional acupuncture needles is that pen therapy stimulates acupressure points without penetrating the skin.

Reflexology

Sports Therapy Gansbaai incorporates reflexology techniques that involve applying pressure to different areas of the feet, hands and ears to stimulate various organs in the body.

Benefits of Reflexology

• Increases Circulation 
• Increases Tissue Oxygenation
• Increases Nerve Function Stimulation
• Increases Metabolism
• Eliminates Toxins 
• Encourages the Body’s Natural Healing Mechanism 
• Assists with Pain Relief
• Enhances the Mental Well-Being

Cupping

Sports Therapy Gansbaai offers cupping, an ancient healing technique to ease pain and alleviate ailments. 

How it Works

The therapist places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs and other body parts. A vacuum or suction force inside the cup pulls your skin upward.

Reviews

“You know Sean at Sports Therapy Gansbaai is the best when you travel from Cape Town to Gansbaai for a session. No one compares! His professionalism, passion and knowledge are out of this world. Thank you for your warm welcomes and for always sorting out my niggles.”  Mariska Brand

From the thorough assessment to tailored treatment plans, every session is beneficial. Sean is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. It helped me regain strength and confidence in my athletic pursuits. I highly recommend Sports Therapy Gansbaai’s services to anyone seeking top-notch therapy.”  Claudia Olivier

“Wat 'n ongelooflike dag by Sports Therapy Gansbaai se Sean Brehm. Om na meer as 'n jaar by iemand te kom en binne twee ure skets hy vir jou 'n prentjie wat sy verwagting is vir die volgende drie tot vier maande. Opgee is nie 'n opsie nie! My man is al sedert 25 Augustus 2022 in 'n rolstoel, na 'n geweldige breintumour operasie. Vandag 'n afspraak by Sean Brehm gemaak. En met sy hulp loop my man die paar tree na die kar toe. Treetjie vir treetjie maar die eerste keer in meer as 'n jaar sonder loopraam. En Sean bless ons met 'n gratis eerste sessie. Mense kom asb by die man uit. As pyn jou onder kry! As 'n besering jou wil laat tou opgooi en meeste van alles om net in sy teenwoordigheid te wees doen jou siel goed.”  Elsie Veldman

“I recently had the privilege of a sports massage appointment with Sean at Sports Therapy Gansbaai. It was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. Sean is a true gem in the realm of treatment therapies. His university studies and invaluable time abroad have equipped him with a unique and insightful approach to massage therapy. Sean's professionalism and expertise were evident from the moment my session began. His strong stature allowed him to apply the perfect amount of pressure, addressing the tightness and discomfort in my back from long hours of travel and heavy lifting. As a fitness enthusiast and personal trainer, his strength ensures he can address your issue.”  Andre Ras

“What a blessing and privilege to have Sports Therapy Gansbaai in our midst. Sean is professional, always considerate and concerned about his client's well-being. I felt sluggish, drained of all energy and tired before the massage, but now I feel like a new person. You have to book a session to understand the feeling of wellness one experiences afterwards. Thank you for becoming part of my life journey.”  Merlette van Zyl

“My visit to Sports Therapy Gansbaai was my first personal training session. All I have to say is that there will be more! Thanks so much to Sean for helping me test my body's limits, breathe, and get on a road of consistency. Highly recommend that you book a session with him if you want to do sports therapy, pilates, weight training, stretching, or training.”  Lelanie Crafford

“Sean, jy is die beste! In al my baie jare in die politiek en met baie stress het ek nog nooit 'n message gehad wat my absoluut na' n nuwe mens laat voel het nie. Baie baie dankie, jy sien my beslis gou weer. Ek beveel enige persoon aan om van jou dienste gebruik te maak.”  Christina Vosloo

“Worth it! I went with my daughter for a session and will return for more. My daughter was relieved from so much pain and will be back on the netball field soon. Thank you, Sean!”  Lindie Wessels
