Prevention is always better than cure.

Sports massage has long been recognised as valuable in both the prevention and treatment of sports injuries, ensuring that muscles are in peak condition, aiding recovery and enhancing performance. It differs from therapeutic massage in that it is a deeper form of soft tissue massage using specific techniques to treat individuals, who may be vulnerable to injury because of stresses placed on the body through sport or other physically demanding activities.

How will you benefit from sports massage?

Sports massage is a form of massage typically used before, during and after sporting events. It is effective for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system. Benefits include:

	Improving circulation and lymphatic flow
	Assisting in the removal of metabolic waste
	Improving muscle flexibility, range and freedom of joint movement
	Reducing stress and tension in the body’s soft tissues
	Relaxing tired and aching muscles
	Breaking down scar tissue
	Improving posture and general body awareness
	Assisting in mental preparation for sporting participation

What happens during a treatment?

On the first visit, an initial consultation will be carried out to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. From this information the therapist can tailor the massage to suit your needs. Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes in duration

A course of treatments is usually recommended for optimum results but this will vary depending on your body’s needs. Advice may also be given about what you can do in between treatments.
