Sports Massage Therapy
Sports Massage therapy involves injury
diagnosis and treatment programmes, incorporating intensive
massage therapy and exercise prescription.
This promotes healing, helps to restore
normal function and fitness and prepares you for your return
to sport.
It also minimises the risk of future injury and
boosts performance by maintaining healthy muscle/connective tissue and improving
joint range of movement.
Massage treatments are usually deep tissue work
depending on the client’s specific needs and essential oils
blended for that particular problem or holistic requirement are used.
Most clients experience a deep feeling of relaxation, flexibility and
energy.
Treatments have very good responses with combined
treatments of drainage and massage for sufferers of ME resulting in
energy boosts and less infections.
