What is Sports Massage and what does it do?

Sports Massage is a deeper form of massage designed to address the soft tissues of the body. Quality blood supply and the elimination of waste products associated with energy production are vital for our connective tissues’ well-being.

A combination of massage and stretching

A combination of massage and stretching techniques will be utilised on specific areas of the body. It corrects problems and imbalances in the soft tissues caused by repetitive physical activity, postural overload or even trauma.

Multidisciplinary Team

Our Sports Massage therapists have the extra luxury of working within a multi-disciplinary team. So, when a more significant injury is detected, we can refer you in-house to one of our Osteos or Physios.
