Therapeutic Massage and Sports Massage

It is simple. We humans need touch. As children, when we fall and hurt ourselves we naturally rub the painful area until it feels better (or better still, we get someone else to rub it for us). We instinctively know that massage will make us feel better.

Massage therapy goes beyond simply feeling good. It has an impressive range of physical, mental and emotional benefits.

What are the benefits of massage?

• Relieves, relaxes and balances the mind, body and spirit
• Reduces the effects of stress
• Calms the nervous system
• Increases blood circulation
• Improves skin tone
• Strengthens the immune system
• Decreases chronic pain
• Relaxes tense muscles
• Stimulates the lymphatic system
• Enhances flexibility
• Generates a feeling of relaxation and well being

Therapeutic and Sports Massage treatments are available. Sports massage techniques are often more vigorous than therapeutic techniques and may require the recipient to work with the therapist to stretch contracted muscles.

Sports Massage Therapy?

• Assists recovery after intensive training
• Prevents injuries and helps recuperation after an injury
• Can help to identify poor posture and create body awareness thus aiming to prevent further stress and injury to the body.

Appointments

A typical consultation will take up to 75 minutes. In that time the massage therapist will take a detailed medical history in order to tailor the treatment to your body’s needs.

Therapeutic massage follow up appointments are 60 minutes in duration. Half hour sessions are also available, which consist of the therapist focusing on certain areas only e.g. back, neck and shoulders.
