<\/div>

Sports massage<\/strong> is ideal for the part time athlete, regular fitness buff, the occasional gym visitor that needs a little help stretching or for the weekend warrior or desk jockey that needs a specific injury treated.<\/p>\n

What is it and what is it good for?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ll use a range of techniques, such as trigger point and cross friction, on the soft tissue of the affected area to reduce tension, improve range, mobility and the condition of the muscles.<\/p>\n

Quite often I\u2019ll use thumbs, the heal of my hand and even my elbow to carry out these techniques. Assisted stretching and muscle energy techniques could also be used. And yes it can be uncomfortable and even painful, but don\u2019t let that put you off its \u201cgood pain\u201d.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tailor your sports massage sessions to your needs. It could be focused on helping the effective healing of injury (in conjunction with other medical therapies). Or they can be regular maintenance sessions to prevent those niggling injuries that get in the way of you staying at peak performance \u2013 whatever your physical activity or goals are.<\/p>\n

What to expect from your first session:<\/h3>\n<\/div>
