SPORTS MASSAGE

Massage therapy is manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) which aims to enhance a person's health and well-being.

Sports massage, vs. traditional Swedish massage, focuses on on targeting specific parts of the body, while being more therapeutic and specialized. Massage is known to affect the circulation of blood and lymph, reduce muscular tension, affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and enhance tissue healing.

These effects provide a number of benefits

Reduction of muscle tension

and stiffness

Relief of muscle spasms

Greater flexibility and range

of motion

Relief of stress, aids relaxation and promotes

a feeling of wellbeing

Improvement of circulation of the blood

and movement of lymph

Relief of tension-related conditions, such as

headaches and eye strain

Promotion of faster healing of soft tissue injuries, pulled muscles, sprained ligaments, and reduction in pain and swelling related to injury

Reduction in the formation of excessive scar tissue

following soft tissue injuries
