Sports and remedial massage
Sports and remedial massage is of benefit for anyone who has tight muscles whether from injury, overuse or lifestyle. It specialises in relieving pain and dysfunction in the body, restoring flexibility and mobility around joints.
Sports massage is particularly beneficial to climbers, many of whom have office based jobs; the same muscles that get tight from sitting at a desk, also get tight when climbing and can lead to imbalance and pain in the shoulders and upper back. Sports massage is the ideal way to restore function and release the muscular pain and tension.
Conditions that sports and remedial massage can treat:
shoulder impingement
tennis/golfer's elbow
back and neck pain
shoulder tightness and pain
scoliosis
sciatica
muscle tears and strains
tight hamstrings/ quads/ gluts
tension headaches and migraines
stress
Sports and remedial massage is ideal for rehabilitation after an injury has occurred. It can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process.
Sports and remedial massage is so much more than the name suggests. A treatment may incorporate a variety of techniques including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point release, joint mobilisation, acupressure and stretches.
