Sports Massage

For improved sports performance, relief from muscle tension or for relaxation.

Patrick Smith IHBC, IIST, MHFST

The types of injury suffered by sportsmen or women do not differ from those caused by other activities—digging, dancing, and repetitive strain for example. The damage to the tissues is the same and so are the principle massage techniques but their application may be different. Massage can be aimed at reducing spasm and inducing general musculo-skeletal relaxation or be directed at problem areas to improve complete recovery.
