Therapies

Massage therapy

Massage based treatment is used to treat a particular injury or long-term problem that has occurred through sport, exercise or other activity.

 

It may also be used to help correct imbalances that have developed through poor technique, posture problems or compensation for previous injuries. These may uncover the need to work back through a series of reactions to the original injury, which may have been untreated at the time. Understandably this may take a few sessions.

 

Where appropriate I always encourage the client to help their own healing and rehabilitation through stretching, rest or exercises. I will always examine and treat the structures surrounding the presenting injury or problem to help reduce and relieve any muscular imbalances or secondary injuries developing.

 

Sports massage can also be used as a preventative treatment to help recovery between training sessions and help stop soft-tissue problems developing.
