MASSAGE

Being a keen sports person myself(I'm a blackbelt in BrazilianJiu-jitsu), I have a real interest in helping people to reach their full potential in their chosen sport. If you’re a martial artist,a marathon runner, triathlete, cyclist, swimmer or   just like to keep fit, then sports massage is the treatment for you. Over the past years I have treated sports people competing in all sorts of discipline. Whether they want to run their personal best or just cross the finish line, everyone wants to achieve the best possible results from their body.

Training  can sometime take its toll on your body and regular massage treatments  can enhance your performance, reduce the risk of injury, speed recovery and allow you maintain intensive training.

Common injuries such as; runners knee, ITB issues, achilles tendinitis and strained muscles can be minimised or avoided with regular treatments.

Sports Massage will ease stiffness and pain in tight muscles and joints. Sports massage also aids mobility, increases energy levels and often improves the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness.

Sports massage is used to enhance strength, performance and speed in athletes and to remove toxins and lactic acid after exercise. Many different movements and techniques are used in sports massage. Examples of these techniques include Classical Massage Strokes; effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), compression, friction, tapotement (rhythmic striking), vibration, gliding, stretching, percussion and trigger points.
