Sports massage is not exclusive to athletes and those involved in regular sporting activities – it is also a remedial tool to aid the every day aches, pains and injuries we sustain as our bodies work, rest and play. Office workers suffer from just as much tension and muscle imbalance as footballers, sometimes more! Sports massage incorporates all the aspects of holistic massage but also works on a deeper level to diagnose and correct muscular-skeletal issues which can affect our posture, range of joint movement and physical/emotional tension.
The application of sports massage techniques is of incredible benefit to a myriad of muscular-skeletal conditions, from shoulder tension and backache to sciatica and tendonitis. In addition to resolving physical impairments, manual manipulation of the muscles, ligaments and tendons aids rehabilitation of injuries and surgeries, breaks down scar tissue and is a great tool for the prevention of injuries.
