Sports Massage .

Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that can be caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma.

Ideally the client should come in wearing (or bring in) shorts and a sports top as the treatment will start with a subjective and objective assessments to help plan your treatment. This will involve some questioning, a postural analysis and then some range of movement and functional tests specifically for the area of concern. Some angle measurements will be taken during these tests to determine if there is any improvement after the treatment. This will take approximately 15 mins on top of the treatment time booked.

The massage plan will then be discussed and agreed based on the treatment time booked. Sports massage is usually targeted on the area of concern, but the treatment can be tailored to the individual.

It is common for there to be some discomfort during the treatment (but this will be checked and pressure adjusted accordingly throughout the treatment) and possibly some bruising in the areas worked after the treatment.
