I am a final year studying physiotherapy at Brunel University and I hold a Level 3 diploma in Sports Massage.
Sports massage is not only highly beneficial for sportsmen and women but also for those that feel stiff and tense from day to day activities.
Through sports massage I will use specific techniques and stretches to help you obtain maximum performance and physical conditioning. It will help to increase your power, endurance and flexibility both before and after an event or workout.
Some of the benefits from Sports Massage:
-Prevent and recover from injury
-Helps reduce muscle tension and 'toxins' (build up of metabolites)
-Increases circulation throughout tissues and decreases stiffness due to ischaemia
-Loosens adhesions of muscles fibres and stretches tissues
-Maintains/improves muscle tone
-Stimulates muscle
