Sports & Remedial Massage
Maidenhead Clinic
What is Sports & Remedial Massage?
Massage therapy is a manual therapy that is concerned with the assessment and treatment of the body's soft tissue e.g. muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. The therapist utilizes their hands, forearms and elbows.
Sports and Remedial massage is proven to be effective in the treatment of the following:
- Muscle ache and pain
- Injured muscles from sport or activity
- Headaches
- Low back pain
- Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
- Sciatica
- Sports performance
- Injury prevention and event recovery
- Myofascial pain syndromes
In sports massage the practitioner will assess the presenting disorder and the correct treatment required for effective relief of symptoms and to help control the cause. Using various techniques the therapist will then manage the tissue disorders. This will help improve circulation to the area, creating greater nourishment to the muscles and also stimulate the lymphatic and venous disposal of waste created by activity which can then improve the recovery period.
Sports Massage is great on it's own as regular treatment and also compliments many other therapies including, chiropractic and acupuncture also available in the Maidenhead clinic.
