Did you know sports massage isn't only for athletes?!

Research cites the benefits of regular sports massage are; 

Increased focus

Reduced stress 

Improved circulation. 

This backs up the fact that research says regular sports massages could (and should!) be used by everyone, not sportsmen/women alone.

As a society people are living and remaining   active for far longer than they ever used to - which is great!  With that, comes a far greater need to look after your body to enable it to continue to work in the most     efficient and pain free way possible.

Whether you want to compete in an Iron Man, or just be able to get up and down from weeding the garden without pain, a sports massage has been proven to help. 

What is the aim?

The aim of a sports massage is to increase blood flow to areas by using free-flowing movements.  This flushes the muscles and helps to loosen tight and/or injured parts of the body.   

For those sports enthusiasts, a pre-game sports   massage will flush muscles, and help the tissues to warm up in order to supply optimal blood flow for   performance. A similar technique is used post-game, whereby, the toxins are removed from the muscles aiding the recovery process. 

Sports massage is usually symptom-focussed, this is why it is relevant for everyone - not just athletes!
