SPORTS
MASSAGE
This type of massage uses deeper techniques and is a more intense treatment, helping to ‘iron out’ the muscles and improve the circulation, leaving the soft tissues more supple.
Despite the scary media stories, Sports Massage should not be painful when done properly. The invaluable experience of being a Chartered Physiotherapist makes Helen the ideal Practitioner to deliver appropriate massage. Techniques are performed with specific knowledge of anatomy, the body’s reaction to training and injury, and, how the healing and recovery process can be enhanced. Throughout this treatment your feedback is very important so that the depth of Massage techniques can be monitored, comfortable and effective.
If you ask a lot of your body in your training, want to prevent a soft tissue injury or are recovering from one, a Sports Therapy Massage will ensure muscles and soft tissues are in peak condition. Treatment is adapted to suit your particular requirements, targeting your problem areas using a combination of different Massage techniques. Gua Sha, cupping, acupuncture, electrotherapy or other Physiotherapeutic techniques may also be used to enhance your treatment needs as appropriate. You may also be given advice on the best home stretches and exercises to keep you performing at your peak.
