Sports Massage
Remedial or Sports Massage therapy is a deep massage done to create the conditions for the body’s return to optimal health after injury. It is used to treat strains, sprains, broken bones, bruising and injury where the skin is still intact. Deep tissue massage removes blockages, damaged cells; scar tissue and adhesions left after an injury, speeds up recovery and encourages more complete healing. The techniques used are designed to increase the flow of blood and lymph around the body, particularly in the injured areas. This enables the body to heal.
Remedial massage is often used by athletes but is equally effective for non- sports people. For accidents such as falling down the stairs or road traffic accidents, this can also be helpful. Remedial massage is a form of massage that does not set out to relax the patient. The intention is to fix a mechanical problem. However all –around health improvement is seen: better sleep, increases in vitality and performance levels, as well as increased mobility.
