Sport Massage

What is sports massage

Sports Massage involves the manipulation of the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.

The aim is to restore these connective tissues to their full functional range and movement, support joints and assist the individual in improving their physical abilities.

Any build up of tensions in the muscles from regular activity can lead to stresses on joints, tendons, ligaments and the muscles themselves. These imbalances can create stress on other areas of the body, causing tightness, discomfort and a greater likelihood of injury.

The skilled massage therapist can detect variations in the soft tissues then use appropriate techniques to release tension, increase circulation to the area and promote a healthier muscle environment.

Treatments can be beneficial before, during and after sporting events, as well as for general maintenance to promote peak fitness.
