Sports Massage

Is a deep treatment that loosens up tight muscles, breaks up adhesions in muscle fibres, and generally focuses on restoring and/or maintaining the full functionality of your muscles.  It can be used to aid recovery from injury, or an event, or as a part of a long term treatment programme.

 

Muscles injuries will often heal more effectively with the help of sport massage.  It can combine deep tissue manipulation which includes trigger point compression, soft tissue release, and deep tissue friction.  This reduces soreness and helps enhance power, endurance and flexibility.

 

Many people assume that sports massage is solely for sports people – it is not!  Sports massage is of benefit to anybody, not just people who are particularly active.  For those who do not play sports and perhaps work in an office environment, sitting in the same position for long period or carrying out repetitive tasks, sports massage is ideal.  It is extremely effective for loosening tight muscles and refreshing aching limbs.

 

   Deep Tissue  

Uses many of the same techniques as Swedish massage, but with the application of greater pressure.  This type of massage focuses on deeper layer of muscle tissue, using slower strokes and deep finger/hand/forearm pressure to release tension.

 

It stimulates and invigorates soft issue as well as helping to loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly.  Deep tissue massage helps provide relief from muscular knots and tension and may help you to sleep better and improve your posture.
