Sports Massage
Massage therapy is an integral part of my treatment and prevention programme, and works either in conjunction with my physiotherpay services or as a standalone treatment option. It can be used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of normalising those tissues and consists of manual techniques carried out as part of an ongoing treatment plan.
The manual techniques used include:
- Applying fixed or movable pressure
- Holding and/or causing movement of or to the body providing relief and relaxation for patients
The main aims and objectives of sports massage are to:
- Aiding your recovery from injury
- Assist with your training/exercise schedule when feeling tiredness/fatigue
- Helping you switch to a more active lifestyle
- Preparing you for a physical or sporting goal you have set yourself
