Sports Massage Therapy, also known as Deep Tissue Massage is based around the manipulation and assessment of the soft tissue in the body (namely muscle fibres, tendons and ligaments).

This treatment type is used to break down tension, identify and correct imbalances in muscle length and tone, re-model scar tissue and improve the circulation and lymphatic flow in the treated area.

The word 'Deep' is a clue to the nature of this kind of massage and is not to be confused with the more therapeutic types out there, it can be quite uncomfortable at times. 

Whilst it can be used before or directly after a sporting event to prepare/recover, most clients would plan ahead and book in a few days after a sports event to relieve aches and pains and shorten your recovery time. It can also be used as part of a rehabilitation after injury, as well as helping prevent injuries from occurring in the first place when used as part of a maintenance programme.

You don't have to be involved in sport to benefit from a sports massage. Most of us suffer with increased tension in our muscles through every day stresses such as work, driving, carrying children, using computers, laptops, tablets & mobile phones. This tension can build up and start to give you pain.

This pain can be localised to the muscle or it can be referred to other parts of your body (eg. tension in the neck and shoulders can refer pain into the head giving 'Tension Headaches). Sports massage is very effective in the treatment and management of increased muscle tension so can be used by anyone suffering from it, at any age.
