Having been a keen sports enthusiast since my teenage years, I have trained and competed in different disciplines from strongman, powerlifting to CrossFit. I have always been interested in body mechanics, strength, mobility and helping people become fit and mobile, actively expanding my knowledge by self study and attending courses. Having been through many injuries and treatments myself, adding my experience of training/competing and the knowledge of the body, it was time I brought my experiences together: offering a service to the general public and sports persons, providing a high quality service of manual sports (recreational) massage. Myth buster: Deep tissue/Sports massage are the same thing: sports massage is working within a specific area of tissue and is still deep tissue! The benefits of soft tissue massage are tenfold, with some being:
Physical:
- Increasing tissue permeability
- Breaking down excess scar tissue, adhesions and fibrous tissue
- Facilitating local blood and lymph flow at the tissue
- Increasing muscle and connective tissue compliance
- Preventing injury
- Helping with healing
- Increasing and restoring normal range of movement
Neurological:
- Pain release
Physiological:
- Stimulate lymphocyte production
- Increase supply of oxygen
Psychological:
- Increase mental alertness
- Enhance mental relaxation
- Reduce anxiety and improve mood
- Enhance general sense of well-being
My aim is to provide treatment that is appropriate to the individual as every case is specific. Any further analysis that may be discovered during the time of treatment will be discussed, and worked on if related to the problem in question, with the focus of getting you back to normal day to day life/activities as soon as possible, pain free.
