Sports Massage Therapy and Remedial Massage Therapy
Focused Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on the area of the body that is in the greatest use ie: runners will focus on legs, hips and lower back treating the damage that has occurred with training and wear and tear using a variety of massage techniques.
Remedial massage is a full body treatment that uses a range of massage to repair damage to muscles, tendons and joints from everyday use.
In your treatment we focus on the causes of musculoskeletal problems. One of the basic principles of massage therapy is the understanding that everything in our bodies is closely connected and related. A pain symptom in one area, may have a root cause in a completely different part of the body, which is why remedial massage focuses on your whole body, rather than simply relieving symptoms in one specific pain area.
Your sports and remedial massage treatment may require a therapy that is gentle or strong, involving deep or light massage. However, a high quality oil ensures that, when required, the massage therapist is able to deeply penetrate the affected muscles and soft tissue.
