Sports Massage
Sports Massage is the manipulation of soft tissue using a variety of techniques such as friction therapy and soft tissue release. Neuro-muscular and connective tissue massage are used to treat soft tissue sports injuries. Sports massage helps to maintain the bodies physical condition and help prevent injuries.
These techniques are also used to perform remedial deep tissue body massage. To re-align posture and relieve muscular tension, techniques such as myo-fascial release, joint manipulation and mobilisation are used and the patient is advised a stretch and strength rehabilitation program.
Where muscle strains and ligament sprains occur, a course of ultrasound and inter-ferential treatment are needed to assist with the breaking down of scar tissue which forms on the damaged fibres.
