Remedial and Sports Massage

Remedial massage combines ancient and modern therapy skills with a scientific understanding of how the body functions and dysfunctions, creating a very versatile method of treatment with wide-ranging benefits.

The prime purpose of massage is to help alleviate stress and tension that can build up in the bodys soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). In sport, this work takes on a special role in helping to enhance performance and prevent injury, by promoting recovery and monitoring the condition of the tissues.

As well as the general therapeutic value of Remedial massage, it can also safely and effectively treat many minor soft tissue conditions. These are by far the most common of all injuries, which often cause considerable pain and dysfunction in the short term, and may lead to long term problems.

Most injuries in sport are of an overuse nature and the cause of this overuse needs to be identified and remedied, otherwise the injury is likely to recur.

In life itself, painful conditions often result from long term postural and/or occupational stresses, which also need to be identified and altered if possible.

For anyone suffering from those dull neck pains, aching back or repetitive strain injuries of any kind Remedial Massage is an effective collection of techniques which can enhance quality of life.

Intensive Sports Massage is an excellent preventative treatment which will improve recovery time and enhance performance. Regular treatment enables more training at a higher level with less likelihood of injury.
