SPORTS MASSAGE

Overuse of a specific group of muscles through repetitive exercise will result in aches and pains, especially after a particularly hard training session.
These aches and pains can be helped and prevented by a Sports Massage.
Sports Massage is a type of Swedish Massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids.
It is typically used before, during, and after athletic events.
The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance.
It does this by draining away fatigue, reducing swelling and muscle tension, improving flexibility and reducing the risk of sustaining injuries.
Regular treatments can break down scar tissue, remove the build up of toxins, improve mobility and reduce the risk of further injury.
Using a mixture of deep and powerful strokes, blood and lymph flow is encouraged to carry damaged tissue away from problem areas.
A Sports Massage can be a deep, intense massage and is designed primarily to stretch and loosen muscles and not relax or soothe the body.
