Sports Therapy/Clinical Massage
Clinical massage addresses acute and chronic pain issues. It combines a fusion of techniques, including trigger point therapy, myofascial release, soft tissue release, deep tissue, sports massage and stretching. Each massage is tailored to your specific needs. Through listening, observation and touch, techniques are combined to relieve trigger points, pain and stress.
After an initial soft tissue injury (use rest, ice, compression and elevation for 24-48 hours) massage can be incredibly useful in rehabilitation/recovery. This is because massage will increase the flow of blood, increase nutrients available and help remove waste products. More oxygen will also be available. All of these components are necessary in the healing process. Whilst it is true that the muscles have a good blood supply and, hence, will heal with relative ease, the tendons and ligaments have virtually no supply at all, so increasing that flow is essential for a speedier recovery.
Clinical massage is designed to reach the deep sections of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibres. It focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue and fascia, loosening muscle tissue, releasing toxins from muscles and getting blood and oxygen circulating properly to repair injuries. It may be both corrective and therapeutic.
Whether you have a specific need or just require a “purposeful pamper” massage is beneficial on many levels and may help with:
