A Sports Massage is, as you’d expect, great for athletes or anyone with a physically demanding lifestyle.

Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body. This helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury.

The focus of this type of massage treatment is on the impact various sporting activities have on your joints, muscle groups, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues.

To ensure the therapist really hits the spot, you can expect an initial assessment, so you will get a customized massage treatment plan.

Multiple massage techniques are involved in a sports massage, including: Swedish style, stroking, kneading, compression, friction, striking, vibration, gliding, stretching, percussion and trigger points.
