Sports & Remedial Massage
Sports and remedial massage aims to promote recovery, improve performance and achieve long-term injury prevention, whether the cause of the injury, pain or dysfunction is sports related or the result the general wear, tear and stress of the lives we lead.
Sports massage involves advanced soft-tissue manipulation to improve performance. It can be used as a regular treatment to maintain healthy muscles. For those who have a heavy training schedule it can speed recovery from training and reduce the chances of injury. It is equally as effective in speeding recovery from soft tissue injury whether acute or chronic.
Sports massage is just as relevant to the many office workers who suffer back, shoulder and neck pain. It utilises powerful techniques such as muscle energy technique (MET), soft tissue release (STR), and neuromuscular techniques (NMT) to break down adhesions, relieve tension and promote blood flow to remove metabolites.
Have you got muscular pain?
Are you suffering with an injury?
Do you have work or sport related discomfort?
Have you any joint or postural problems?
Are you a golfer suffering with a painful elbow?
Do you sit at a computer all day and suffer from neck & shoulder pain?
Does manual work cause you pain and mobility problems?
Has running caused you to suffer from shin splints or ITB?
The human body is a network of interconnected systems and tissues. Whilst injury and pain occur at a specific site, there is likely to be an underlying problem elsewhere. For example, lower back pain can often be traced to postural dysfunction in the lower legs and feet. It is this "whole body" awareness which is at the heart of our approach and philosophy.
Treatments utilise a range of massage and advanced soft tissue techniques set within a framework of assessment and rehabilitation procedures. As well as dealing effectively with a variety of musculoskeletal problems, remedial massage can also be used to help in the recovery from, and reduction of, the symptoms of many medical conditions.
Sports and remedial massage can help not only treat the symptoms of pain and injury but, importantly, it can help by treating their underlying causes and help you move forward.
