Sports Massage combines general and deep tissue manipulation with various forms of stretching techniques to relax muscles.
This is a hands on treatment which involves mobilising and the manipulation of soft tissue. It is particularly suitable for those who have been or intend to be involved in sporting activities but you DO NOT have to be sporty to enjoy a Sports Massage.
As a Sports Therapist I trained in anatomy and this type of massage is very effective in treating minor soft tissue problems, helping manage pain and to help move with less pain. I will support you in recovery, with a customed designed rehabilitation plan (if appropriate). Our bodies are very complex and everyone is different which is why each treatment is tailored to the individuals needs.
Sports Massage is extremely useful for occupational pain bought on by extensive hours at a desk or in the car, which I have first hand experience of as I was desk based in my previous job with the NHS.
