Benefits of Sports and Remedial Massage

Poor posture, injury, stress or strain can cause a build-up of muscular tension over time. If left unchecked, the muscular tension can place further stress on joints, ligaments and tendons and can develop into more serious and complex issues. Massage is an effective tool to release chronic muscular tension and pain, restoring balance and assisting the body’s own natural repair processes.

It can:
• relieve pain and stress
• aid lymphatic drainage and promote circulation
• improve flexibility, mobility and range of movement
• reduce scar tissue
• accelerate the recovery process after injuries such as sprains and strains

For the sports person, professional or amateur, it has additional benefits. It can:
• provide help in preparing for competition and improving performance
• give early identification of problem areas, reducing the risk of injuries
• increase energy levels
• speed up the removal of toxins and metabolic waste post-exercise/competition
