Sports Massage
What is sports massage?
Sports Massage involves the management, maintenance and rehabilitation of soft tissue through the use of manipulation, massage and compression of soft and deep tissue muscle fibres.
It assists those who participate in sport to help manage the effects of training and competition. It also helps those from a non sporting background suffering from muscle tension and soreness caused for example by a physically demanding job or postural stress.
