Sports Massage

This is a particular treatment session whereby the therapist will be treating and diagnosing common injuries such as hamstring/calf strains, ligament injuries or tendonitis. This is completed through a thorough examination which includes assessing joint range of movement, muscle strength, neural palpation, posture and special tests to help identify the problem.

This sort of massage is similar to deep tissue massage; however a sports massage will target a specific sports related injury. Movements such as kneading, tapping and circular movements are used to loosen tight muscle tension in the area. The aim of a sports massage is to improve sports performance, improve circulation, increase mobility, reducing physical pain caused by the injury and preventing any potential injuries or muscular tightness.
