Sports Massage
Sports Massage treatment involves an individually tailored soft tissue massage to treat the stress, tension and fatigue that occurs through occupational, recreational or sporting activities.
More and more people are realising that a complete workout routine includes not only the exercise itself, but also caring for the wear-and-tear and minor injuries that naturally occur with activity.
If you are a sportsperson, massage can have an enormous impact on your performance. Regular treatments can allow you to train to your full potential and recover optimally.
You don’t have to be a sportsperson to feel the benefits of sports massage. Muscular tension, stress and fatigue can affect all of us, whether we are athletes, DIY fanatics, gardeners, busy housewives, or stressed executives.

What happens during a treatment?
The first appointment will consist of a comprehensive examination during which your sports massage therapist will collect important information about your current condition and other relevant health problems. This will be followed by an appropriate physical examination to determine a course of treatment. At the end of the assessment your sports massage therapist will explain the examination findings to you and discuss the proposed treatment plan which will normally begin straight away.
