What is Sports & Remedial Massage ?
Sports and Remedial Massage is a deep treatment that loosens up tight muscles, breaks up adhesions in muscle fibres, and generally focuses on restoring and maintaining the full functionality of your muscles.  It helps muscles heal effectively, perform better and prevents injury. 

What are Soft Tissue injuries?
Soft Tissue injuries relate to muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Sports & Remedial Massage is aimed at addressing both the prevention and treatment of these injuries.  Over 80% of all injuries are related to soft tissue, and over 60% of doctors' appointments relate to soft tissue problems. 

What can Sports Massage do for  you?

  • Identify and reduce the chance of potential injuries

  • Speed up the recovery process and aid rehabilitation

Who can benefit from sports massage?
You don't have to be a sportsperson to feel the benefits.  Muscular tension, soreness, stress and fatigue can affect all of us, whether we are competitive or recreational athletes, DIY fanatics, gardeners, busy parents, or stressed executives.

How often should I have a massage?
As often as you like.   Some people find that a weekly massage helps to aid recovery from training sessions or control their stress levels - while others find that a maintenance treatment every few weeks works well.
