What is a sports massage?

​

Sports massage is a hands on treatment for muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia to help relieve pain and tension while aiding circulation and lymphatic flow. It can help recovery from injuries and improve performance.

​

Sports massage treatments can involve:

• Deep tissue massage  

• Neuromuscular techniques 

• Trigger point release 

• Myofascial release

• Stretching 

• Muscle energy techniques

• Lymphatic drainage

​

Regular sessions can also help prevent re-injury, help reduce stress and improve overall well being.

​

Who is it for?

​

Sports and deep tissue massage can also be beneficial for non-sporting individuals. It can be helpful for anyone with built up tension from repetitive actions or overuse of everyday life.

​

Treatment is adapted for individuals, whether it's a full body massage treatment for multiple ares of pain and tension or for specific focus on an injury or area.

 

Pressure applied is also personalised and adjustable, the treatment shouldn't be painful.
