Is Sports and Remedial Massage for you? There are many benefits of sports massage therapy:
• It helps to relieve muscle tension caused by work and everyday life
• Relieves muscle aches and pains
• Prepares muscles for sporting activities
• Decreases muscular stiffness due to poor posture
• Breaks down scar tissue and relieves knotted muscles
• Helps relax and restore fatigued muscles
• Decreases the risk of injury
Depending on the needs of the client a variety of techniques are used including Effleurage, Petrissage, Frictions, Compression, Neuromuscular technique, Myofacial release / Connective Tissue, Muscle Energy Technique and Soft Tissue Release. All of the treatments provided should warm and relax your muscles, ease muscle separation from connective tissue, and improve soft tissue elasticity, permeability and fluid circulation. They may assist in recovery from exertion, improve flexibility and increase joint range of motion, improve soft tissue healing, aid in longer term pain reduction, increase energy levels, mental alertness and general sense of well-being, and should therefore provide you with decreased injury potential and optimised performance. Post treatment as a therapist I will advise and provide you with exercises and stretches if necessary to assist your recovery, increase your flexibility and improve your health. For more details or to book an appointment/consultation please feel free to contact me via phone or email and I will try to answer all of your queries to the best of my ability. Home Visits and late night appointments are available on request.
