Sports Massage
Sports massage is a technique involving the manipulation of the soft tissues. These soft tissues include muscles, tendons, connective tissues and ligaments. The methods and techniques used allow for the manipulation of these tissues to increase mobility and reduce stress.
Sports massage does not just benefit sportsmen and athletes but can have profound benefits to those suffering from a range of medical conditions. It is helpful in reduction of stress and stress related conditions. It can result in improved performance and concentration.
Whether humans or equines no matter their level, discipline or age there are benefits to be gained from sports massage therapy. It enables all athletes to perform at their optimum and promote their well being.
Sports massage therapy aims to aid in correcting problems within the soft tissues as a result of strenuous and/or repetitive activities. These problems can also be a result of trauma or posture. Regular sports massage therapy can help in preventing these injuries by ensuring that there is a good range of movement and good posture.
