SPORTS THERAPY
I offer preventative and rehabiliation therapy.
Specifically the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of clients back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of level, age, ability or injury.
​
Sports Massage includes the manipulation of soft tissue; skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia (connective tissue that lines and wraps the other soft tissues).
Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. As well as providing maintenance in a preventative capacity.

What should I expect during the treatment?
At the initial meeting, we begin with an assesment and a talk about the symptoms you're experiencing before I make a treatment plan. I'll share my findings at all stages along the way.
​
You should come with or wearing shorts, or be comfortable in your underwear. I'll advise what is needed and leave the room for you to prepare, always covering you where possible.
​
Treatment can be uncomfortable, but not painful. I'll talk with you throughout and will adapt my approach at any point where necessary.
​
You should expect to leave with some stretches or exercises.
​
I always recommend that you drink plenty of water following a treatment, and not to exercise strenously that same day.
​
I will advise on further treatment requirements, this varies greatly from person to person.
