Description

Please make appointments by telephone (07738087617) Prices range from £10-20 per hour Benefits & Effects of Massage The Physiological Effects of Massage • Massage can help increase joint mobility by reducing any thickening of the connective tissue and helping to release restrictions in the fascia. • It helps to free adhesions, break down scar tissue and decrease inflammation. As a result, it can help to restore range of motion to stiff joints. • Massage relieves muscular tightness, stiffness, spasms and restrictions in the muscle tissue. • It increases blood circulation bringing more oxygen and nutrients into the muscle. This reduces muscle fatigue and soreness. • It promotes rapid removal of toxins and waste products from the muscles • reduce oedema (excess fluid in the tissue) by increasing lymphatic drainage and the removal of waste from the system • regular massage may help to strengthen the immune system, due to the increase in white blood cells • improved circulation to the skin, increased nutrition to the cells and encouraging cell regeneration • increased production of sweat from the sweat glands, helping to excrete urea and waste products through the skin • reduce stress and anxiety by relaxing both mind and body • create a feeling of well-being and enhanced self-esteem • ease emotional trauma through relaxation Benefits & Effects of Sports Massage Maintenance Massage: A regular massage treatment programme based on the therapist’s understanding of anatomy and of the muscles used in a given sport and which are likely candidates for trouble. By concentrating on particular muscle groups, the therapist can help the athlete maintain or improve range of motion and muscle flexibility. Event Massage: Pre-event and post-event massage therapies are tailored for distinct purposes. Pre-event treatment is used as a supplement to an athlete’s warm-up to enhance circulation and reduce excess muscle and mental tension prior to competition. It is tailored to the needs of the athlete and his/her event and can be relaxing or stimulating as appropriate. Post-event massage, on the other hand, is geared towards reducing the muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with rigorous exercise. Various sports massage techniques enhance the body’s own recovery process improving the athlete’s ability to return to training and competition, and reducing the risk of injury. Rehabilitation: Even with preventative maintenance, muscles cramp, tear, bruise, and ache. Sports massage can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process. • Soft tissue techniques employed by sports massage therapists are effective in the management of both acute and chronic injuries. • Trigger point techniques reduce the spasm and pain that occur both in the injured and "compensation" muscles. • Cross-fibre friction techniques can help with healing by improved formation of strong and flexible repair tissue, which is vital in maintaining full pain-free range of motion during rehabilitation. In all cases, such massage techniques are employed in collaboration with other appropriate medical care.
