Sports Massage

For too long, sports massage has been regarded as a luxury for the privileged professional athlete.  Increasingly, people who are serious about their sport and exercise recognise the need for massage as part of their training.  Research shows that  80% of sports injuries affect the soft tissues of the body including, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.  Although most of these injuries are minor, they can be very painful, and, if not treated properly at an early stage can lead to more serious, long-term conditions.

Regular Sports Massage provides an effective way to:-

• Prepare for and recover from competitions
• Prevent injuries
• Speed up recovery
• Restore mobility
• Improve performance

 In particular it can help to:-

• Relieve muscle tension and pain
• Increase muscle flexibility and joint mobility
• Reduce muscle fatigue
• Improve posture
• Relieve pre-competition nerves
• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow

The techniques used in sports massage are easily adapted for the less sporty individual who may be suffering from muscular discomfort brought on by a sedentary or physically demanding job, a strenuous hobby, poor posture or sudden unexpected movements.
