Massage has long since been established as an effective and widely used technique to relieve pain, swelling and muscle spasm due to its therapeutic benefits.
Everyday life can put significant stress and strain on your body and Sports and Remedial Massage differs from other types of massage because it works more deeply on your body's tissues, releasing muscle tension and relieving aches and pains. The same techniques apply whether you have a sporting or lifestyle problem. This is why Sports Massage can also be termed 'Remedial or Therapeutic Massage'.
Sports and Remedial Massage is not just about superficial feelings of relaxation (although you will get that too!), it aims to make long lasting changes to your soft tissues that will allow you body to function properly again. This may help in a sports setting e.g. increasing flexibility and performance or in every day life e.g. improving posture and reducing muscular discomfort.
