Sports Therapy Massage

Sporting activity can cause muscle tension, stiffness and discomfort.  Massage can help reduce these symptoms and improve performance, prevent injury and speed up recovery time.

Sports massage uses advanced soft tissue techniques and muscle energy techniques to help reduce muscle tension, break down adhesions, realign muscle fibres and improve muscle and joint range of movement. 

It can also increase peripheral blood circulation and promote healing.

Strength and conditioning exercises can be prescribed at your massage appointment to help promote flexibility, strength and stability.
