Because sport is your passion

Sports massage can benefit you by:

• Speeding up the healing of damaged or stressed muscles, tissues and joints

• Improving the suppleness and flexibility of muscles and joints
• Improving blood circulation
• Reducing swelling
• Assist in the removal of metabolic waste
• Remodelling scar tissue when required

Sports massage is a technique that uses the application of pressure to manipulate soft tissue. It combines the gliding strokes, kneading movements, bending and stretching associated with massage with intensive techniques that are specifically designed to prevent and treat sports injuries.

Enhance your ability to perform

Sports massage can benefit you by improving performance and endurance, extending athletic life and enabling a speedy return to activity after injury. Sports massage is beneficial at various stages of participation:

• Training and conditioning - help your body cope with change and remain injury free
• Pre-event - relax or invigorate the muscles for optimal performance whilst at the same time reducing the risk of injury
• Post-event - help the sore muscles detoxify, realign and heal in preparation for the next bout of action
