Sports Massage

Deep tissue massage is used primarily to treat specific injuries or conditions. Using anatomical and physiological knowledge, firm pressure is carefully applied to the clients body to relieve physical, physiological and psychological stress or dysfunctions.

After hard training, or a lot of physical activity, slight damage and waste products can build up within the muscles.  Sports Massage stimulates blood circulation helping to remove waste products and repair damage quicker, which can lead to faster recovery and increased performance.

Sports massage not only targets the elite sports performers, the following also benefit from good treatment:

• Repeated movement and strain at work
• Household duties such as hoovering, ironing, cleaning
• Office work and long days spent on a computer.
• Driving

Poor posture throws the body out of its normal alignment which can lead to muscle tension and structural problems.  Sports Massage will help to realign muscle tissue, release tension and get the body back to full working potential.

I have recently worked with the Great Britain Gymnastics Team, treating the gymnasts before the 2008 World Acrobatic Gymnastics Championships, where they sucessfully took the overall title of World Team Silver medalists.
