Sports Massage
Sports Massage is an effective way of massage using specialised techniques to achieve optimal physical, physiological and psychological benefits. Sporting, occupational and recreational activities can place unnatural stresses on our body leading to the root cause of injuries and poor posture. Sports massage can quickly resolve problematic areas that limit our range of movement and cause us pain.
You don’t have to be a sportsperson to feel the benefits of sports massage, it will enhance your physical performance irrespective of whether you participate in sporting activities or not. Sports massage can play an effective role for a sports person in training but also benefit anyone who is physically active with a desire to enhance their health and wellbeing.
We specialise in the treatment of soft tissue including muscles, tendons and ligaments. With the aim to relax muscles, breakdown scar tissue and adhesions. Our further aim is to align the body structures and remove metabolic waste products from the problematic areas, overall speeding up your recovery process.
