What is Sports Massage?

Sports Massage is the discipline that involves manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body e.g. muscles, ligaments and tendons. The prime purpose of Sports Massage is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.

Who can be treated with Sports Massage?
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, Sports Massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Above all, it can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether one is an athlete, ardent keep-fitter or a once a week jogger.

This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious (occupational, emotional and postural stress which can produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries)

How can Sports Massage benefit you?
The Sports Masseur brings together a blend of soft tissue techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with you to:

Help relieve your aches and pains
Help prevent injuries
Improve circulation & lymphatic flow
Assist in the removal of metabolic waste
Remodel scar tissue when required
Assist in mental preparation for sporting participation
Relieve your stress and tension

To do this, the treatment you receive may include a combination of techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger pointing of the soft tissue.

A regular Sports Massage Program can be tailored to your individual needs, to positively enhance your ability to move and perform.
