Why Sports massage helps with aches and pains but its not just for the 'sporty types'

Sports massage is not just for the 'sporty' 

I'm often asked if you have to be 'sporty' to have sports massage?  absolutely not, if it's done well  it is beneficial to all. 
I have used Sports and remedial massage to help very delicate people with fragile bone conditions, little old ladies to rugby players, body builders, marathon runners and Olympians. It is very necessary however to adapt each sessions to suit each person and their individual needs. 

Sports massage is becoming commonly known as 'brutal massage', it has largely got this fame from some therapists who believe unless the client leaves the couch 'beaten up' then they have not given a good massage!

In my clinics and home visits in the Oxford and Bicester area I see a wide range of people who benefit from both deep tissue massage, often too a light touch relaxed and targeted stretching can have a big impact too on mobility and function without the pain!

What is Sports and remedial massage? 

Sports an remedial massage begins with a full assessment which looks at the whole body and then a treatment plan is agreed which may include massage, stretches and remedial exercise and postural recommendations.

Professional practitioners can be found in your area at the Institute of Sport and remedial massage practitioners:  Find a therapist at the 'ISRM'
