Sports Massage

Sports Massage is a specific type of massage that uses deeper techniques to treat a range of problems. This therapy, involves what is known as deep tissue or soft tissue massage, works primarily on muscles and tendons to rebalance them.

 

The deeper techniques used in Sports Massage are very effective on a muscular level and not just limited to sports professionals. In fact, it is more often the general public who benefit from this type of therapy. Sports Massage is effective with:

 

• Repetitive strains (RSI)
• Muscular aches and pains
• Back pain & sciatica
• Neck pain and headaches
• Sports Injuries
• Poor posture
• Improving performance
• Injury rehabilitation

 

Sports massage can be used on another level as pre event or post event massage. This lighter massage can help to relax the muscles leading up to a sports event, or improve recovery following an event.
