DON’T mistake this treatment as only being for sporty people!! This form of massage is suitable for anyone.
Rather like a car’s engine which will cease to work effectively if it doesn't receive a regular service, your body needs looking after, particularly if you train or compete in sport. Muscles tendons and ligaments can become overused setting you up for injury. Through regular treatment, Sports Massage Therapy can prevent injury occurring. If however you already have an injury, your Sports Massage Therapist can assess the damage, treat, refer and or build a rehabilitation programme to help you to recover properly.
Sports Massage Therapy can also be used by people who don't train or compete in sport. If you have a desk bound job spend long periods on a computer or driving, your body is being put into a state of weakness which can lead to such things as discomfort in the neck and shoulders; sciatica; tennis elbow or frozen shoulder. Sports Massage Therapy can help with easing overstrained muscles and you could be given advice on how to prevent any of these happening.
