With the ever growing number of people taking part in sport, combined with the

sports massage is also increasing and becoming more and more recognised as a
skill which may aid recovery and enhance performance.
Benefits of Sports Massage
Massage, applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy for releasing
muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculo-skeletal system. Received
regularly this may help athletes prevent injuries, which might otherwise be
caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular
activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as the
muscles themselves.
The skilled massage therapist will be able to detect variations in the soft
tissues and by using the correct techniques, help the sports person maintain a
much healthier physical state.
