Sports and remedial massage involves working with the body’s soft tissues – the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue - to maintain them in optimal condition, improving flexibility, addressing muscle imbalance and preventing injuries and loss of mobility. Sports massage can enhance sporting performance by optimising muscle tone & length, improving circulation, assisting in metabolic wa
ste removal whilst also helping prepare mentally for sporting participation. Sports massage helps to prevent injury by addressing muscular imbalance and dysfunction before they become a problem. Using various techniques to lengthen short, tight muscles and strengthen long, weak muscles, injury can be kept at bay. Remedial massage is used to address multiple problems:
Chronic joint pain and dysfunction
Muscular pain and dysfunction
Pain caused by chronic health conditions like fibromyalgia or MS
After thoroughly assessing the problem and possible causes, a range of advanced soft tissue therapy techniques are used to address the injured soft tissue, improving mobility across the related joint and remodelling scar tissue when required. A supervised programme of strengthening and stretching exercises is recommended to assist in recovery and prevent future injuries. If you have muscle or joint pain, or are suffering from overtraining in your sport, or simply want to optimise your sporting performance, contact me for a sport and remedial massage therapy treatment. I promise you will notice the difference.
