About Sports Massage

Sports Massage is useful for anyone who suffers with muscular tension and is a useful adjunct to Osteopathic treatment. It is particularly suitable for runners, triathletes or anyone who regularly partakes in sports and exercise.

Muscular tension is often a pre-cursor to other injuries. You will naturally compensate for initial problems by altering your posture and gait to reduce the tension on the body. This will continue to happen until the body can no longer cope and acute injury ensues.

Improves Self Awareness - Through deep tissue massage, an athlete can learn to monitor their own condition and adjust their training accordingly.

Improves Performance - Pre-event sports massage can stimulate circulation, calm nervous tension and help prepare the athlete for optimal performance.
