Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is the application of a range of therapeutic techniques, used to treat muscles that are knotted, tense, stiff, or damaged. The remedial therapist will assess and identify which areas of the body require treatment, and use a range of massage-based techniques to optimise muscle function.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is aimed at keeping the body active & injury free.
No matter the sport you participate in, training sessions will subject the body to gradual and controlled overuse, even with regular stretching & warm up, they are likely to become tight and sore.
If these muscles are not rested or recovered correctly using remedial massage or myotherapy treatments they will eventually lead to structural changes and make the body more susceptible to acute soft tissue injuries.
Sports massage works by stretching tight muscles, stimulating inactive muscles and improving the condition of the soft tissue. It can be specifically tailored to different sports and sporting injuries.
One of the main benefits of sports massage is that it can prevent you from getting sore muscles after you exercise known as delayed onset muscle soreness.
