Deep Tissue Massage (Sports Massage)
Sports Massage is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons. Massage helps the body recover from the stresses of strenuous exercise, and facilitates the rebuilding phase of conditioning. The physiological benefits of massage include improved blood and lymph circulation, muscle relaxation, and general relaxation. These, in turn, lead to removal of waste products and better cell nutrition, normalization and greater elasticity of tissues, and faster healing of injuries. It all adds up to relief from soreness and stiffness, better flexibility, and less potential for future injury.
However to benefit from massage you do not need to be a sports performer. The benefits can also help relieve many day to day problems that everyone experiences. Looking after your body is essential. Whether you suffer from everyday aches and pains like backache, or whether you are an elite athlete needing to keep your body working at peak performance, massage therapy can help anyone. Many people have therapeutic massage purely as a form of relaxation.
