Sports Massage
Just recently I’ve treated quite a few of my clients with a combination of sports massage and Kinesiology tape – the bright coloured strips that all the best dressed athletes are wearing - and the results are very good.
Sports massage works by stretching the tissue fibres and breaking down any scar tissue that has built up as a result of the original or ongoing injury, it rids the areas of toxins that have built up and improves the overall balance of the muscles and joints affected,
Kinesiology tape, also known as K tape lifts the area of application to enhance blood and lymph flow, reducing inflammation, giving gentle support to the muscles and it also encourages proprioception which helps the body to retain balance between limbs.
So far I have treated lower backs, shoulders with muscle pulls or rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow and golfing elbow strains, pulled or overworked Achilles tendons, and knees – all with favourable outcomes.
