SPORTS MASSAGE
Playing sports, exercising, or general day-to-day life can cause tension, tightness, aches, and pains in our body. A sports massage is a great way to target these areas of the body, and achieve a number of benefits including:
Reduced muscle tension allowing an increase in flexibility and range of motion
Improved circulation and localised blood flow to the muscles to enhance recovery
Increased drainage of waste products out of the muscles
It is also an extremely useful tool to use in injury rehabilitation to accelerate the healing process, and break down scar tissue or restricted tissues alongside your personalised exercise rehabilitation plan.
All of our manual therapy treatments we have to offer are outlined below!
SPORTS MASSAGE
Our sports massages utilise multiple massage techniques and modalities to provide deep manipulation of the muscle tissue. This is perfect for anyone who exercises regularly, to ensure any aches, pains, tension, or tightness are removed to optimise your recovery in between sessions.
RELAXING MASSAGE
We also cater to anyone who would prefer a more relaxing Swedish massage to help relieve any stresses of daily life. We will utilise softer massage techniques to help you unwind and relax throughout the treatment.
PERCUSSIVE THERAPY
Percussive therapy provides mechanical vibrations of the muscle tissue at a rate that cannot be achieved through regular massage techniques. These vibrations cause an increase in blood flow to the muscles, leading to improved range of motion, reduced muscle soreness and stimulation of the healing process.
THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves generated in the head of the device, which penertrate into the tissue, and creates mechanical vibrations. This causes a thermal effect which increases blood flow and heat within the area. In addition, this can help breakdown scar tissue, and enhance the body's cellular repair processes.
SPORTS TAPING
Taping is used to increase joint stability, restrict certain movements within the injured joint, and provide soft tissue compression to reduce swelling and inflammation. We use several tapes including elastic adhesive bandage, zinc oxide, and K-tape to achieve these effects.
MOBILISATION TECHNIQUES
Lack of range of motion/flexibility is not always muscular. Sometimes the joint capsule itself has some restriction, generally following an injury or developed over a period of time. Joint mobilisation techniques are a great way to increase the range of motion, reduce pain, and improve joint function.
