What is Sport Massage?
Sports massage uses a variety of techniques to manipulate soft tissue and help with a variety of muscle complaints and dysfunctions.
​
This type of massage is particularly helpful for people engaging in regular sporting activity, but can also be beneficial for those who sit at a desk all day or have a physical job.
​
The human body is an incredible structure and the muscles are always working hard to maintain posture, let alone all of the active demands we ask of it.
Over time muscles can become overused and tight. This can cause dysfunction when other muscles pick up the slack of a weak muscle. If not looked after this can result in pain and discomfort, often in a referred area and can prevent you from taking part in your chosen sport, sleeping comfortably or even being able to do your job
​
Sports massage can help alleviate this tension and strain and through using techniques such as myofasical release and deep tissue massage it can help correct imbalances in soft tissues.
