Remedial / Sports Massage

Sports Massage (Upper/Lower Body)
Due to the build up of Lactic & Uric Acids (waste products) within the muscles following any major activity, both the performance and movement of the muscle becomes restricted. Prolonged reduction of muscle movement / performance will lead to injury. By draining the waste products from the muscles and applying various stretches it is possible to enable quicker recovery times. Massage can also aid in mobilising the fat/cellulite cells within the body. Sports massage can be used in the treatment of specific injuries, such as hamstring strains, as well as to help correct muscle imbalances, overuse and postural issues. It is these issues which should be corrected in order to prevent future injuries and improve the efficiency of our muscles and so enhance our performance.
A regular sports massage can help prevent injury by improving the condition of the muscles. A good massage therapist can identify muscle tightness, trigger points and scar tissue which if left untreated may lead to injury.
