BOOK ONLINEBenefits of Sports Massage
Sports Massage can aid tension throughout the body caused by daily tasks, such as lifting, long drives or stooping over a computer. As its name suggests, it's particularly beneficial for Sports men and women as a pre and/or post Sports treatment.
Prior to a Sporting event, Sports Massage will be applied to align muscle and soft tissue fibres, drain toxins and debris and increase energy by boosting blood flow, meaning you will perform at your absolute best. This also helps to prevent injury by ensuring the muscles are fit and healthy and strong prior to exercise.
Post Exercise, the muscles are rich in lactic acid and may have sustained some damage, the Sports Massage is highly effective at relieving pain brought on by lactic acid or injury by draining the tissues or any retained fluid as well as loosening tight muscle heads or knots that may result from over-exertion and/or not enough stretching.
Sports Massage is firm and precise with it's pressure and deep muscular stretching is applied, the pressure is a little more than most types of massage, ideal for more muscular men and women. Yet it can be of real benefit in rehabilitating your muscles when you have been spending a lot of time resting as well!

Sports Massage is typically a lot stronger than other types of massage, there can be discomfort as the therapists work the tense areas, but it can feel enormously satisfying and you will feel much better in a day or two once your body has healed new and more relaxed.
