Sports & Injury Massage
“We work together to ensure you gain some relief and rehabilitate from your injury.”
How can I help?
I will do deep tissue work, give you stretches and exercises to do, often advise on products you can find to help you change your body’s alignments and therefore prevent recurrence of the injury.
It is always a two-way street, we work together to ensure you gain some relief and rehabilitate from your injury. I will do deep tissue work, give you stretches and exercises to do, often advise on products you can find to help you change your body’s alignments and therefore prevent recurrence of the injury. I look at the whole body with regards to your biomechanics. Are you aligned? is something out of place? Is that a structural issue or coming from a muscular imbalance. Do you have full range of movement (ROM)?
Then I will go about balancing the body, increasing your ROM and ensuring that your postural awareness is increased so that you are no longer exacerbating the problem, in fact you are starting to alleviate it.
The Techniques
As a therapy, sports and injury massage incorporates many different techniques:
- Assessment is a primary consideration: mobility and postural checks are a necessity to locate the core of the problem
- Case history: viewing X-rays, discussing prior treatments and medical diagnosis
- Using massage, neuromuscular techniques, trigger points and stretches, many conditions can be significantly improved
