Sports Massage

What is Sports Massage?

The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body's soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Above all, it can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether you are an athlete, keen gym-goer or a once a week jogger.

Sports massage tends to be deeper and more intense than other forms of massage. It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu. We bring together a blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, in order to work effectively with you to bring about optimum performance and to provide injury-free training.
