SPORTS & OTHER INJURIES

Benefits
The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues as a result of physical activity - whether this is sports, gardening or carrying things. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Sports massage aims to improve the suppleness and flexibility of muscles and joints, improve blood circulation, speed up the healing of damaged or stressed muscles, tissues and joints, and prevent future muscle and tendon injuries.

Who for?
* For anyone with injuries
* For anyone with chronic pain or limited mobility
* For athletes before or after a sports events
* For prevention of the development of future injuries
N.B. Sports massage, although relaxing and soothing, can be vigorous. If the client has muscle soreness the massage may, initially, cause some discomfort.
