MuscleFit is a professional Sports Massage service delivered by fully qualified, experienced and insured therapist Rachel Smith. The overall purpose of sports massage is to help alleviate stress and tension that builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. This build up can lead to minor injury and if not treated properly at an early stage a minor injury can sometimes lead to a more serious condition in the long term. Massage can treat the majority of such minor problems quickly and effectively and greatly speed recovery because of its wide range of benefits both physical and psychological and works on many levels. Sports massage is not just for the sports person, it is for everybody. Anyone can benefit from sports massage from the unfit to the persons in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious such as surgeons, dentists, artists, musicians waitresses/waiters ,students, taxi/bus drivers and of course massage therapists themselves. Occupational, emotional and postural stress can produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries. Sports massage tends to be deeper and a more intense treatment. It is based on various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point techniques that are similar to those in Acupressure and Shiatsu. Combining together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, Rachel at MuscleFit can effectively bring about optimum performance, enhance quality of living, help provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries. Think of Sports massage as repair and maintenance for your muscles!! Please call or message to enquire.
