Massage

Massage should be an integral part of any active person’s programme, regardless of what level of sport played or whether an injury has been sustained. Sports massage has physical, physiological and psychological benefits including:

• Helping nutrients reach the tissues and eliminating waste products thereby promoting recovery
• Stretching the tissues and improving elasticity preventing loss of flexibility
• Reducing the risk of injury
• Restoring mobility to injured muscle by treating scar tissue

Normal daily living and the repetitive actions of work, driving, sport, even the way we sleep, can cause postural adaptations giving us a range of symptoms from muscle aches, joint pain to tension headaches.

In addition, for those with rigorous training schedules, it’s increasingly likely we’ll overuse muscles, forget to stretch adequately and end up causing strain, muscle imbalance and other issues. Beyond that, we often ignore aches and pains until they become more serious and the more an injury is ignored, the more susceptible it becomes to further damage.

All of this can be alleviated and kept at bay with a regular sport massage. Massage can be delivered pre- or post-performance, during training or for rehabilitation. If you are looking for a way to improve your athletic performance, then sports massage may be the answer.

Assessment and treatment is offered at various locations in Lower Parkstone and home visits are possible.

We are also available for pre- and post-race massage and other events work.
