The aim of Sports Massage is to prevent injuries and muscle problems and should therefore be used as a maintenance treatment. Regular massage will help maintain good muscle condition, improve flexibility and aid lymphatic drainage.

Used as part of a rehabilitation programme, Sports Massage will speed up the recovery process on acute or chronic muscle, tendon and ligament injuries.

Used in conjunction with an athlete’s warm up, Sports Massage is beneficial pre-event, whether for relaxation or stimulation, to enhance circulation and reduce muscular and mental tension.

During competition, inter-event Sports Massage can help an athlete finish.

Alongside a stretching and cool down programme, post-event massage can help reduce muscle spasm and build up of lactic acid, and enhance relaxation and recovery from training and events.
