Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports massage was developed to help improve sports performance by adding remedial techniques to a massage treatment to improve the body's movement and deal with injuries and postural problems. These are often caused by the repetitive movements in most sports, but can just as easily occur through bad posture at the computer, manual work or playing an instrument.Most people will benefit from sports massage as the deep work into the body's soft tissue will stimulate the muscular and nervous systems rather than just offering the relaxation of a holistic massage. Physiotherapy techniques such as advanced stretching are used to increase range of movement, break down scar tissue and enhance blood flow to muscles and soft tissue.
