Sports, Remedial and Deep Tissue Massage

You don't have to be involved in sport to benefit from sports massage. Whether you're feeling stressed or tired, have chronic aches and pains, or are suffering from a sports or work related injury, sports massage can alleviate the tension, which builds up in the body's soft tissues.

Sports, Remedial and/or Deep tissue massage can help to:
• Reduce pain
• Improve movement/range of motion
• Increase circulation
• Reduce scarred tissue
• Stimulate metabolic removal
• Speed up the healing process & return to sport/work
• Improve mood/emotional well being
• Relieve stress and tension
• Improve posture
• Prevent injury and further injury

Sports Massage Therapy is mainly used to help alleviate the stress and tension, which builds up in the body’s soft tissues. It is a deeper and more intense form of massage incorporating a number of techniques, which work together to bring about optimum performance, reduce stress and tension and of course aid in the treatment of sporting injuries.

Remedial Massage Therapy incorporates the advanced techniques used in sports massage and can help those who need remedial massage therapy due to day -to-day problems and general overuse.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the muscle fibres, tendons and fascia. It also helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue.
