Sports & Remedial Massage
Sports massage is a focused, deeper massage that is tailored specifically to activity-related ailments and injuries
Sports massage is now utilised at almost every professional sporting event and professional sportspeople have regular access to top therapists. This is because they know that Massage therapy is powerful for improving and maintaining performance and preventing and recovering from injury.
Any type of sport calls for either great physical strength, immense mental power, or both. This style of massage supports you by keeping muscles smooth and flexible, improving performance, reducing recovery time after training and helping to both prevent injury and shortening rehabilitation time.
Sports massage is extremely useful, providing benefits for all types of athletes, from elite cyclists, swimmers, and footballers, to recreational joggers, golfers, and weekend soccer warriors as well
Each Sports massage session will also include deep-tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point techniques plus the all-important relaxation feel-good factors that just make life better.
Traditionally, Sports Massage treatments hurt! Painful point pressure is applied using elbows, knuckles and fingers and this – in my experience – is counterproductive. The client will ‘ouch’ and tense up, rendering the massage less effective.
My work doesn’t hurt – guaranteed – and is every bit as effective. The work is powerful, deep and loosening but without the ‘ouch’.
