Sports massage incorporates deep tissue massage, joint articulation, stretches and other techniques in order to help the body in repair and recovery of damaged, tight, overused and tired muscles.
In order to ensure that the treatment provided is safe, targeted and effective an assessment of the injury or issue will take place before treatment is started.
It is normal for the client to be asked to dress down to their underwear in order for and assessment and treatment to take place so please bring a pair of shorts and wear underwear you are comfortable with.
Due to the deep nature of the treatment, some clients may find there is some tissue discomfort following treatment which will resolve within a day or two and can be eased with the use of ice.
Most clients will be given some exercises designed to promote continued recovery between sessions.
Importantly - massage can be tailored to the needs of the individual, so it's never too firm or too gentle.
