what is Sports & Remedial massage?
Sports Massage is a clinical based treatment that is not just beneficial for athletes, dancers and sports amateurs but for people of all ages suffering with muscular aches and pains or restricted joint range of motion not necessarily caused by sport. I provide more than “just” a sports massage and offer advanced techniques that can assist with relief from long standing chronic muscular pain that other therapists may have been unable to resolve.
Sports massage helps to reduce: stress and areas of muscular tension, pain caused by soft tissue dysfunction and scar tissue following injury.
It is effective in enhancing recovery time, sporting performance and endurance. It increases joint mobility allowing improved range of motion and encourages lymphatic drainage. Through assessment it can have a beneficial effect on posture and gives an increased feeling of wellbeing.
treatments & services
All treatments begin with an extensive injury assessment and are followed by a treatment plan tailored to the individual. I use numerous advanced techniques to ensure issues are resolved quickly and efficiently. These sessions can also help reduce stress and tension which builds up as part of our busy lives. The key point is they help clients return from soft tissue injury as quickly as possible. I see all injuries ranging from minor day to day issues caused, for example, by bad posture at work, to full time sporting pursuits. My services include:
