Remedial massage has been used effectively for many years to deal with minor aches and pains affecting muscles, ligaments and tendons. The majority of these minor soft tissue conditions  are caused by lifestyle stresses. Although they may recover naturally over time this is often not the case and they can develop into more serious and complex issues.

Remedial massage has shown over the years to be a fast and effective way of dealing with these conditions by assisting the body’s own natural repair processes

Many “so called” sports injuries have much to do with an athlete’s posture and/or other factors outside of their sport, and the distinction between the two is often unclear. The real difference with sports massage is the focus on recovery from training and the early identification and treatment of potential soft tissue problems. With a thorough assessment of the condition of the athlete’s soft tissues through massage, the therapist can monitor how he or she is responding to training. This can allow the athlete to “fine-tune” their training to avoid injury and enhance performance.
