Sports massage is a very versatile and effective treatment for the soft tissue of the body.  It helps to enable the body to function at its’ optimum.  Sports massage does this by releasing tight muscles, breaking down scar tissue in the muscle fibres, working out the knots that limit movement, flushing through the build up of waste and toxins that may have occurred due to an injury or repetitive strain.

Whether you are in training for a marathon, a professional dancer, a cyclist, just come back from a skiing holiday, suffer from low back pain due to desk-based work, or have general aches and pains from the stresses of day to day living,  Sports massage successfully treats many types of soft tissue pain.  Your sports massage therapist may use a variety of  sports massage techniques to bring you a treatment package tailored to your individual needs, such as:

• Soft Tissue Release
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Frictions
• Muscle Energy Technique
• Facilitated Stretching
• Lymphatic Drainage
