Sports Massage
Sports Massage focuses on the deeper layers of the muscle tissue. This massage uses slower strokes and more intense pressure than remedial massage. This allows the therapist to focus on treating the specific muscles that are causing your symptoms. The technique is used to ease aches and pains whilst promoting the correct movement of a muscle.
Sports Massage is the manipulation of the soft tissue that can focus on muscles relevant to a particular sport or activity. Consequently it is used to prepare or recover for exercise and to aid recovery from injury. Furthermore sports massage is able to stretch specific areas of soft tissue in all possible directions, in a way that may not be possible in functional exercise. It also effectively increases lymphatic drainage and blood flow to a muscle. As a result this enhances levels of oxygen and remove toxins such as lactic acid.
