Sports Massage can be defined as the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissue structures of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is an effective and efficient method of treatment that can benefit people from all walks of life. Whether you are a parent, sedentary worker, socially active individual or elite athlete sports massage can be tailored to your individual needs. It can aid in the treatment of repetitive strain injuries, stress, tension, fatigue and postural issues from lots of travel, office based work or an active lifestyle.

The science behind Sports Massage is that it stimulates lymphatic flow through your body allowing the removal of waste products and toxins. Additionally it also stimulates the release of hormones such as endorphins which can increase relaxation and act as a natural painkiller. Lastly, it can mobilise and stretch the soft tissue structures allowing a decrease in muscular tension to reduce discomfort for an individual.
