  Sports Massage is a deeper form of soft tissue
massage which uses specific techniques to
treat physically active individuals, who
may be more vulnerable to injury because
of the stresses placed on the body by their
sport or activity.
While gentler forms of massage can be relaxing
and soothing, they really don't go 'deep'
enough to have any lasting effect on the
body's soft tissues which include muscles,
tendons and ligaments.
Sports massage stimulates the nervous and
muscular systems, in order to improve blood
circulation and lymphatic flow.
This type of massage encourages fresh supplies
of oxygenated blood to reach the muscle tissues
and flush out metabolic waste products and
toxins.
The sports massage sessions offer individually
tailored treatment and advice to:
Help relieve the stress and tension which
hinders the achievement of
- Reduce the likelihood of injury during exercise
- Speed up the recovery process and aid rehabilitation
after injury
- Ensure full range of joint movement and increase
muscle flexibility - stretch and relax
- Improve postural and general body awareness
