Sports massage is about counteracting the physical strains we find ourselves under, and anyone can benefit from it, not just sportsmen and women!

Our busy modern lives can leave us stressed and fatigued; both passivity and activity can stress the body, and over time the results can be detrimental to both our physical and our mental health. Massage therapy can aid in addressing all of these and restore some balance, helping us lead happier, healthier lives.

Massage therapy is most effective when combined with a clinical approach, so it can be tailored to the individual. Correct diagnosis is essential, so that problem areas are correctly identified and treated effectively, and there is no one size fits all approach.

A high-performance athlete operates under different conditions to the desk-bound office worker, and stresses and injuries, and the treatments required, are unique to those individuals. Knowledge and sensitivity to patient history and lifestyle is essential to achieve the best results, and even relaxation massage should be performed with this approach – identifying specific issues that might otherwise be overlooked, and employ techniques best suited to release the affected muscles and tissues.
