Sports Massage
What is sports massage?
Sports massage combines the use of deep tissue massage techniques and specific sports massage techniques, helping athletes with the prevention and management of injuries. It can be part of a training program preparing the body for an athletic activity to help gain or maintain its optimum condition. It can also be part of a rehabilitation program from injury helping the body get back to its fit condition or helping the muscles and joints recover from soreness and strain after an athletic event.
Most of us who do some form of regular exercise, or physical activity, work out at the gym, or have physically active jobs, can benefit from sports massage. It can also really support those who sit at desks all day long, have lower back pain, frozen shoulder, stiff neck etc.
