What is Sports and Remedial Massage?

Sports Massage is unique, in that it has a fundamentally different approach from all other forms of therapy. Targeting those problem areas and reducing tension within in the muscles, will in turn bring the body back into alignment and encourage increased freedom of movement.

Sports and Remedial massage should not be seen as a treatment only for world class performers! It can benefit any person at any level of sport or recreational/work activity. So whether you spend a lot of time working at a desk, play football on a Sunday or are an elite athlete, the benefits are endless.

As well as the therapeutic value of massage, it can also safely and effectively treat many minor soft tissue injuries, which often cause considerable pain and dysfunction in the short term, and may lead to long term problems.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Techniques combined with the flowing and rhythmic influences of other types of massage help to bring you to a state of deep relaxation and create the optimum healing environment for the body and mind.

This form of massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressures.

Deep Tissue Massage helps to refresh and relax the muscles of the body. This can be immensely beneficial to your health and well-being. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, releases toxins from muscles and gets blood and oxygen circulating properly.

Overtime muscles can become shorter and tighter due to:
• Physically demanding occupations
• Environmental and/or emotional stresses
• Repetitive everyday activities such as gardening and/or housework
• Over exercising

• Stretch, loosen and re-align muscle tissue
• Reduction of muscle tension
• Improved circulation and promotion of flexibility
• Increased relaxation
• Restoration of muscle balance
• Reduction of tension

• Prevent injury
• Prevent an excessive build up of scar tissue
• Improve the recovery rate from training
• Increase the quality/quantity of training a sportsperson undertakes
• Aid physical/psychological well-being
• Enhance performance
