Sports Massage is NOT just for sports men and women! It is a deep and specific massage therapy used to release muscular tension and restore the body’s soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments, myofacia) to normal function and fitness. It can induce dramatic improvements in muscle function and mobility, as well as in pain reduction. Sports Massage is always tailored to an individual’s requirements,
but most commonly it is used to aid the repair of damaged tissues or prevent injury by increasing flexibility and muscle performance. It is an intense treatment, involving deep tissue massage, stretching, frictioning, trigger point work and myofacial release. This proven technique stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow, flushing out metabolic waste products, revitalising muscles and tissues in the body, causing relief from pain and muscle spasms. It is effective for sporting injuries, as well as other acute and chronic neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, leg pain or repetitive strain injuries, It can help to improve muscle tone and length, improve posture and muscular imbalances as well as breakdown and remodel scar tissue. Sports massage not only aids the repair and recovery of damaged soft tissue, but is also a preventative treatment. Regular treatment is advised to help prevent injuries and tension reoccurring.
