Sports Massage
Reduce the risk of sports injuries with sports massage therapy
What is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage is a specialised deep tissue massage that manages, manipulates and rehabilitates the soft tissues of the body to release tension, reduce pain, restore range of movement and overall flexibility. Manipulation of soft tissue incorporates deep pressure, stretching and other specialised techniques applied to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue in a range of ways in order to achieve the desired effect.
Sports massage should play an important role in the life of any sportsman or woman whether they are injured or not. Not only does it treat sports injuries, it is also an excellent injury preventative treatment..

Who will benefit from sports massage?
Sports massage is tailored to each individual’s needs and is therefore suitable not only for athletes but any individual who suffers from tension and tightness in their muscles due to their occupation and the stresses of everyday life.
What does a treatment consist of?
A detailed consultation and assessment is taken on your initial visit enabling the sports therapist to adjust the massage to best suit your requirements.
As the treatment is specific to each individual’s needs, the massage can be adapted to focus on particular areas of the body such as upper body (back, shoulders and neck)or lower limbs or can incorporate the whole body.
Advice on stretches and strengthening exercises will be provided by the sports therapist after the massage to help prolong the benefits of the treatment.
