Sports massage can help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, 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.
This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs. Sports massage is a deeper and more intense massage combining Swedish, Soft Tissue Release (STR), Myofascial Release (MFR), Neuromuscular therapy (NMT), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), deep tissue, friction, compression, stretching and acupressure.
