What is Sports Massage?

 

It is the term applied to the discipline of using massage for the specific benefit of all sports and exercise participants.  It covers the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of teh soft tissues of the body eg, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Your first appointment will consist of a consultation and assessment, the appropriate treatment plan will then be carried out over a period of sessions. 

 

Your treatment will begin with a deep massage to warm up the muscles, then specialised techniques are used to break down & remodel scar tissue and knots built up in the muscles and surrounding tissue.  This will help stretch the tissue bringing about more flexibility in the muscles and increased range of movement in the joints, while reducing pain and tension in the body.
