Massage treatments for both soft tissue and musculoskeletal pain.
Whether performing on a track or field with your team-mates, participating in sports can be an exhilarating and rewarding achievement. Many people participate in sport for the love of fitness, a drive to compete, or simply to finish a distance race, anyone who is active in sports strives to care for their body.
Many people seek massage therapy regularly to help them perform their best and reach their personal goals.
Many sports and fitness enthusiasts rely on regular massage as an important part of their health and training routine. This is because an area of chronic tension can impair performance and even lead to injury when stressed. Massage using sports specific techniques can assist with relieving tight and restricted areas preventing the onset of chronic pain and restricted movement.
Massage will relieve stresses that may impair your body alignment and assist in effective muscle and joint function throughout your body.
An injury to anyone who loves to be active is more than just pain and frustration. When sport is your passion, an injury can be emotionally devastating.
Your therapist will provide a comprehensive treatment plan including massage and stretching. You may experience some discomfort at first with massage directly on or near an injured area but the sensation should lessen after a few minutes. Always let your massage therapist know if your session is uncomfortable in anyway. We can work within your comfort level with effective results.
Reduce activities over the next 24 hours. Always drink plenty of water. Talk with your therapist to determine how massage will work with your training program.
A variety of remedial massage techniques can help with injuries such as tendinitis, muscle strains and ligament sprains. As massage increases circulation, it can also reduce swelling and increase the supply of nutrients needed for healing. Your body repairs injuries with scar tissue consisting of tightly matted fibres of collagen. These fibres tear and re-tear easily making healing difficult and your range of motion painful and restricted. Massage techniques can limit scar tissue formation in new injuries and can reduce scar tissue around old injuries. With regular remedial massage treatment your muscles can be restored to a pain free range of movement.
Being able to improve and maintain your ability to perform requires recovery and health which are the key factors in productive training.
Regular massage will keep fatigue and pain away which is the major cause of over training, causing lack of performance and possible injury from over use.
Training needs to be complemented with prober recovery which then allows the athlete to achieve the goals that they have set themselves whether it is for competition or personal fitness.
Massage therapy is a powerful tool to assist in relaxation. Massage therapy helps you recharge and restore your energy levels, particularly when you feel you are over taxed and running on empty. As we lead busy and busier lives massage therapy can be our down time tool allowing you to recharge. Massage therapy creates a sense of "well-being" by stimulating the release of endorphins which are your body’s natural pain killers. Massage Therapy increases circulation clearing out accumulated stress hormones and waste products that make you feel sore and tired. As your tissues are cleansed and flooded with nutrients, you may even experience relief from emotional symptoms such as anxiety or depression.
