Sports & Remedial Massage

Sports & Remedial Massage is the term used to describe an ensemble of techniques geared at releasing the build up of tension in the body’s soft tissue due to overuse, following injury or through inactivity.

The aim is to reduce adhesions and scar tissue, and to re-normalize the soft tissue so it can perform better.

The relief from pain and dysfunction is associated with improved posture & mobility.

Massage is the most effective type of therapy for releasing muscular tension and restoring balance to the body.

Regular massage helps in preventing injury and soft tissue overuse. Tension which builds up through regular activity can easily lead to fatigued muscles and stress in the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles.

Musculoskeletal imbalances develop slowly and change the body to a point where they cause discomfort, pain, poor performance and fatigue.

Sports & Remedial Massage has many advantages both physical and psychological:
 

  • Increased circulation

  • Increased ROM (Range of Movement)

  • Increased flexibility

  • Removal of toxins from the soft tissue

  • Decreased muscular tension

  • Injury prevention

  • Increased performance

  • Decreased recovery time between training sessions

  • Decreased muscle spasms
