Sports Massage

Is a hands on technique that releases tension in muscles and connective tissue due to imbalances and excessive physical activity. 

It can encourage circulation and the removal of waste products. It can be used for specific events both pre and post.

Sports massage is considered deep tissue which at times can feel uncomfortable but you are always in control of the level of pressure.

Where acupuncture has come from the East (placing needles in meridian lines), Dry needling has come from the west with a slightly different methodology. Both use the same style of needles.

The dry needling therapist feels the muscles and connective tissue for tightness and trigger points (knots) and puts the needle in and around tension to help relieve it.  It can be used with massage.

As Dry Needling is only done laying down you need longer if it is down on two sides of the body because you cant lay on the needles.

The therapist uses a vacuum inside the cup which pulls blood into the area.  This creates new blood vessel formation which leads to an increase in nutrient and oxygen in the area.

The stretch that is produced in the soft tissue and fascia leads to a relaxation effect within the muscle, which results in improved range of motion and performance.

The saturation of blood can often leave a circular mark, which is consistent in look to a love bite. This usually disappears after a couple of days.

Cupping can be used at the same time as Sports massage allowing for two body parts to be treated at once.

Hot and cold stones use the temperature of the stones to help relieve tension in the muscles.

1 massage stoke with a hot stone is worth 10 without, making it a more relaxing experience and allowing to get to the problem knots faster.

Both hot and cold stones can be used together to help with pain.

You must state either hot or cold when booking

Kinesiology Tape is an elastic adhesive bandage that sticks to the skin.

The belief is that when adhered to skin with different levels of stretch on the bandage, the skin is lifted over the trigger point (knot) or point of pain that allows for easier flow of blood and fluids to aid healing.  It also can have a slightly supportive role the joint that’s taped.

This can be added after a treatment if wanted

Taping and strapping is the process of using tape or adhesive bandages to stabilise and fasten an injured joint or sprain. You can tape and strap an injury to help protect the joint from the initial damage, further damage or help speed up recovery.

The objective of strapping any part of the body is to provide support for an existing injury or it can be used as a contingency to prevent injury.

Strapping a joint with athletic tape restricts movement while providing support for tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Strapping with athletic tape will also provide support to the joint or muscle as well as other benefits.

Sports massage isn't just for athletes

Unfortunately Sports Massage Therapy is not for every one and there are certain populations that are unable to be massaged.  This is because certain medical conditions are affected by massage and  could be made worse.

All bookings made require 24 hours notice of cancellation.

Cancellation within this time requires full payment for the appointment.
