Sports & remedial therapy
The benefits of sports & remedial massage and the sports injury clinic

Whether you are a professional or amateur athlete or just suffering with normal work stresses & strain of life, sports & remedial massage can help.

Remedial massage will help alleviate stiffness; fatigue and general aches and pains caused by sporting overuse injuries or work related pain. Many of us today spend hours at a computer / in the car, which can lead to occupational pain- backache, stiff neck etc..

Some of the conditions that sports and remedial massage will help:

  • headaches / migraine
  • backache
  • stiff neck
  • knee pain
  • tennis elbow
  • golfer's elbow
  • sciatica
  • piriformis syndrome
  • arthritis
  • shin splints
  • repetitive strain injury (RSI)
  • pelvic pain
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • brittle bone conditions
  • sports, work and dance injuries
  • injury prevention / performance enhancement

I have specifically designed my treatments and employ pain-relief techniques, including: deep and soft-touch massage; trigger point therapy; physical stretching of muscles, tendons and ligaments, which aids joint mobility (some of which cannot be achieved through active stretching alone); the re-education of muscle tensions to reduce stress over painful joints via postural correction; remedial exercise to strengthen weak muscle groups to aid muscle balance; stimulation of blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to encourage the body's systems to promote healing.

A postural assessment will identify any tight areas within the muscles system, which if left untreated could lead to a more serious injury - for example, RSI and arthritis later in life. The main benefits are: physical, physiological, psychological – emotional.
