Massage
and Sports Therapy
Massage
Massage has many effects on our bodies both physically and psychologically.
This treatment releases tension and reduces mental stress which
promotes feelings of well being and vigour.
Massage will have a calming effect on the nerve endings which
reduces stress and enhances relaxation.
Massage increases the blood flow around the body which aids the
removal of waste materials, which if left can cause stiffness
and pain.
Sports
Massage / Remedial Massage
This treatment is designed not only for athletes but those
who lead active, busy and physically demanding lifestyles.
It is also a complementary treatment to other therapies including
Chiropractic and Osteopathy.
The treatment includes slow, deep muscle releasing techniques
combined with mobilising and stretching which aim to break
down scar tissue, muscle adhesions, stretch and realign areas
of shortened, tangled muscle fibres. This will also enhance
flexibility and reduce the risk of injuries in the future.
