Injury prevention

If you are new to massage or not sure what treatment type will be suitable for you these are described below.

Clinically informed massage can be extremely beneficial to your rehabilitation. You may have a recent injury such as a sprain or strain and clinical sports massage has been shown to aid recovery.

Clinical massage is suitable for all, not just amateur or professional athletes. It may be that you’re not sporty at all but have an injury, niggly aches, reduced movement or pains that have come about through repetitive movements or a long-term chronic pain condition. Clinically based advanced musculoskeletal soft tissue techniques and neural techniques are used to provide a bespoke treatment targeting muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia and the pressure may vary from a light stroking or kneading, to deep pressure.

I will assess, treat the issue then offer rehabilitation and homecare advice to help you on your road to recovery and improved performance. Regular massage provides a powerful tool to help you take care of your health and wellbeing improving your quality of life and aiding recovery from training. Kinesiology taping is also offered to support injury recovery.
