You don’t need to be a sports-person to benefit from Sports Massage. It can help alleviate day to day problems such as repetitive strain injuries, lingering pain, tensions, sprains and fatigues.

Aiming to help increase mobility and circulation and decrease discomfort or as a maintenance treatment for prevention of injury or strain.
In terms of sports-people Sports Massage can be used to support treatment of and recovery from acute injuries, improve flexibility and range of movement and enhance performance.
Sports Massage is a form of deep tissue massage which applies deep pressure to the muscles, focusing on specific trouble points. When you have knotted muscles, want something a bit deeper than a traditional massage or have more specific ailments, more attentive deep tissue massage techniques are required. I am always conscious that the massage you receive needs to be right for you, so it is very important to always speak up and let me know if you need the pressure to be adjusted, (i.e. if you need me to lighten up because it is too deep, or to apply more because it is not deep enough). Most people need more pressure in some areas and less in others.
Sports massage relieves tension and restores muscular and skeletal balance through:
• Improving circulation of the blood
• Encouraging removal of waste
• Sedating or stimulating nerve endings
• Aiding the prevention of injury
• Restoring mobility and range of
movement
