Sports/ Remedial Massage
Why Should I Choose Sports or Remedial Massage?
What is Sports and Remedial Massage?
Sports massage is a deeper form of massage that can be given before, during and after sporting events, as well as a general maintenance massage to promote peak fitness. It is effective for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system. Regular massage can help athletes to prevent injuries, especially from overuse. It can release the stress and accumulation of tension on the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles, especially as the treatment will focus on both the origins and insertions of the muscles. Any minor lesions or injuries occurring in the soft tissues can be broken down. Sports massage will work at a deeper tissue level, stretching and releasing muscle tension. A variety of techniques can be used, including neuromuscular release, frictions, deep tissue work, trigger point therapy and stretching exercises. If necessary, audio sonic therapy can be used.
Remedial massage is part of sports massage therapy where the focus is on one particular problem area or injury using deep tissue massage. Rather than receiving a full body treatment, massage and manipulation will be focused on one area, stretching and working the muscle fibres or scar tissue. It helps to deal with pain, speed up healing and remove lesions. To help with the healing, audio sonic treatment may be given, which involves the use of soundwaves to penetrate the tissues that are inaccessible to conventional manipulative techniques.
