What is Sports Massage ?
Sports Massage together with Remedial Bodywork and Deep tissue Therapy is a collective style of therapeutic massage used to treat and remedy dysfunctions held within the soft tissue of the body.ie muscle, fascia, ligaments and tendons.
The treatment, which is tailored for each individual client, may include a number of massage techniques, both superficial and deep, pressure techniques, lymphatic drainage, muscle energy techniques, soft tissue release, myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques and muscle testing and balancing. These combination of techniques are all aimed at bringing about pain relief and ease such conditions as back pain, repetitive strain injury etc.
