Sports massage

Massage has been found to greatly enhance one's sporting performance and recovery rate from sport and physical exercise. Sports massage has a positive effect on the entire body system contributing to overall energy, boosting endurance levels and helps to prevent muscular injuries. The benefits of massage can be seen in competitive sports and leisure activities alike.

Sports massage uses a technique that moves across the muscle fibres with a deep to moderate pressure breaking up adhesions and stimulating blood flow to carry away post exercise by-products.  It is beneficial to release these from the muscles before they stagnate and accumulate causing tension and cramps. Gentle stretching and percussion (pummeling and chopping) moves aid in the loosening of tight muscles, joint mobility and stimulating blood flow.

There is a tendency towards weakness at site of previous injury. Sports massage is preventative, that is it can greatly reduce the risk of trauma to an old injury.  Maintaining elasticity, flexibility and suppleness of tendons, ligaments and joints.  Restoring muscle function and healing from restrictive scar tissue in the muscles.
