Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue (skin, fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments). It benefits people who are involved in physical activity. This of course could mean sports activities, but also activity involved in your job, decorating, gardening etc. Sports massage is designed to correct and balance any problems that are caused through repetitive or strenuous activity. It can also prevent injury by keeping the body balanced.

Sports massage is similar to therapeutic massage in that it aims to promote relaxation both physically and mentally. It is different in that it is concerned with muscular and skeletal alignment and how exercise and massage affect the body.

Sports massage is not just for people playing sport or recovering from injury. It can be of great benefit to anyone experiencing any aches or discomfort

One of the techniques used in Sports Massage is Muscle Energy Technique (MET) which aims to increase the stretch in a given muscle or group muscles.
