TREATMENTS

Sports Massage Therapy

Sports massage is not only for 'sportsmen/ladies' but for everyone. As in our day to day lives such as sitting at the office, manual labour, playing with kids and in general anything we all tend to get tightness/aches and pains. Why? because the majority of people tend not to stretch. This leaves our muscles especially the ones that are working the hardest or put on stress for a long time to get tight as they are always being shortened, so with sports massage it can help re-lengthen the muscle tissues. By ensuring your muscles are in a nice healthy unstressed condition it can help prevent injuries from happening.

 

Below is a bullet point list of some of the benefits of Sports Massage:

- Reduce general aches and pains usually related to posture
- Decrease stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Relieve lower back and hips soreness/aches
- Improve range of movement (as it stretches the muscles)
- Relieved tightness/stiffness due to exercise or your day to day activities such as building work, playing with children, sitting at desks etc.
- Improve flexibility
- Reduce fatigue
- Prevent injury
- Release knots or tension such as from a muscle strain

IASTM

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) is the use of tools to enhance the treatment given within massage. It can help target muscles more specifically and give greater pressure where needed with more control. The purpose of IASTM is to assist in relieving pain, tenderness, improve mobility and function. It is non-invasive nor aggressive and is effective. Its roots are believed to originate in China known as 'Gua Sha' and is still widely used there.
