About Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy

Sports and Remedial massage therapy is a very safe treatment focussing on the muscles, tendons and ligaments - the "soft tissues" of the body.
It is not only for sports people but can benefit anyone suffering from stress or muscular discomfort. Sports massage helps maintain the body in the best possible physical condition and prevent injuries and the build up of muscular tension.
Each treatment uses a variety of different massage strokes and is individually tailored to the needs of the client. A treatment may be a whole body massage or can concentrate on particular problem areas.
Some of the benefits of regular sports massage sessions are listed below:

* Injury prevention and early identification of potential muscular
  problems
