Whilst this form of deep massage treatment has been developed especially to aid people suffering from injuries sustained whilst taking part in sports, it can be used very effectively to deal with any kind of ache or pain felt in the body since they are often caused by soft tissue dysfunction.
Long periods of sitting or driving can cause postural complaints which can be treated and even stress can be eased by sports massage therapy. Naturally athletes who are looking to enhance their performance and their sporting life will benefit substantially.
It produces the following benefits: -
* maintains the entire body in better physical condition
* aids cell renewal
* removes toxic waste
* Improves flexibility
* improves muscle tone
* improves posture
* alleviates muscle tension
* helps prevent injuries
* reduces stress and anxiety
* improves the body's circulatory system
* cures and restores mobility to injured muscle tissue
* stimulates and helps to re-balance the nervous system to aid function
It can require considerable physical effort on the part of the therapist and can also be quite exhaustive on the body. We recommend allowing for a recovery period of 24 hours after treatment to achieve the best effect. Additionally aftercare, such as stretching and exercise, may be prescribed to augment and re-enforce the treatment. Therapeutic oil is used as a medium. Your first consultation will provide the opportunity for the therapist to find out about your history and will therefore take longer than subsequent sessions.
