Sports Massage is a moderate to deep form of massage therapy which can be applied to manipulate muscles, tendons or ligaments using  hands on techniques. Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid increasing the delivery of nutrients to working muscles. This increase in nutrients improves the health of tissues and tissue repair promoting recovery and therefore reducing the chance of injury. Otherwise prolonged muscle tension can lead to limited flexibility, increased pain and cause future injuries.

Whilst it is common for athletes to receive sports massages, it isn’t just for sportsmen and women. Sports massage can also benefit any individual suffering from aching muscles due to occupational stress and demands of everyday life.
