What is Sports Massage Therapy?

Sports massage therapy is concerned with the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissue.

Benefits of Sports Massage Therapy

Sports massage therapy may help alleviate the stress and tension that build up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity and break down minor injuries and lesions that occur due to overexertion and over use. It can help prevent niggling injuries that may get in the way of performance and achievement. It may improve training, prevent injury, improve self awareness and improve overall performance.

Sports therapy will compliment Chiropractic care by creating quicker soft tissue adaptation/change to help stabilize the new spinal re-alignment and create longer lasting benefits.

• Sport related injuries Remedial injuries
• Back ache Muscular strains
• Aches and pains Shoulder pain
