SPORTS AND DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
SPORTS & REMEDIAL MASSAGE
The techniques of sports massage are not just applicable to sports activity. They could be useful for your occupation or lifestyle whether active or not.
Originating in the swedish massage discipline, sports or remedial massage can sometimes be a deeper and more intense manipulation of soft tissues but it has also developed to encompass other soft tissue techniques including stretching, compression, friction, and trigger point techniques.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage also uses swedish massage techniques techniques in the treatment and prevention of tension, anxiety, pain and injury. The stimulation of blood flow and those lovely endorphins supports flexibility in the joints, muscles and fascia helping to maintain balance and a sense of well-being. Perhaps you feel so tightly wound up that you might break at any minute, or you enjoy deep tissue massage to maintain a healthy lifestyle - this will get deep into the knots to help you step back in time with your life and start breathing again.
So whether sport is your daily obsession or your lifestyle is more sedentary, a deep tissue or sports massage can make a significant difference to your physical and mental well-being, not to mention how you perform every day in work and play.
Choosing Your Treatment
All first appointments will include an assessment that reviews relevant medical background, specific issues that you want addressed, and some postural assessment. This is conducted in an informal, friendly and confidential manner so that you can be confident the treatment is about you individually. This can take 15-20 minutes usually and is part of your first treatment time. Subsequent sessions will make a brief review or check-up against your initial presentation but this is normally brief, again depending on the individual.
CHOOSE DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE...
For relieving symptoms of stress and anxiety such as tension headaches, lower back pain, shallow breathing, tight neck and shoulders. Book a 30, 45 or 60 minute session which on your first appointment should include a case history and postural assessment.
CHOOSE SPORTS MASSAGE...
For Injuries:
Bodywork techniques can address a range of sports or occupational injuries to promote faster, more effective healing.
A detailed case history and postural assessment will be included in this treatment of usually 30 or 45 minutes so best to book 45 minutes for the first session.
For Maintenance:
Whatever your training volume or style, your performance and recovery will always benefit from a maintenance massage. Using hands-on massage, stretches and trigger point therapy, this will quickly minimise injury risks and keep you powering through your training schedule.
This is usually a 30-45 minute session depending on the case.
For Post Race or Event:
Run, jump, ride or swim, after a big race or event the body needs to recover and regenerate. This massage will stimulate bloodflow, ease aches and pains and get you moving again.
This is an invigorating and reviving 30 minute massage that stimulates blood flow but not too deep to enable the body in recovery.
