What is Sports Massage?

Sports Massage (also known as Remedial Massage) is an extremely effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system.

A constant build-up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on the joints, ligaments, tendons as well as the muscles themselves. The main aim of Sports Massage is to restore and maintain full functionality to the muscles so increasing joint range of movement.  Injuries, sprains and strains sustained through sport or day to day activities can also be resolved with a Sports Massage.

Regular treatments help to reduce the possibility of an injury by preventing lactic acid build up as well as maintaining the muscle fibres in good condition.  Sports Massage can temporarily improve circulation and lymphatic flow leading to more general health benefits.
