Sports Massage

Sport and remedial massage encompasses a wide range of soft tissue techniques used to treat musculoskeletal pain and injury. It involves hands on treatment using deep tissue and therapeutic massage; as well as neuromuscular, myofascial and stretching techniques (including muscle energy technique and soft tissue release). It is access to this wide range of techniques which means sport and remedial massage can benefit clients of all ages and fitness levels.
