Sports Massage Therapist

Sports massage therapy is an effective form of deep tissue massage that aims to alleviate the stresses placed upon the musculoskeletal system. This is achieved trough different massage techniques including effleurage and petrissage to manipulate the soft tissues. Sports massage helps aid muscle recovery by breaking down adhesions and scar tissue within the muscles. It also releases endorphins that reduce the effects of pain, stress and anxiety.
