Sore muscles? tight muscles? pulled muscles? .... Sports Massage is for you then. Many people assume that Sports Massage is solely for sports people or athletes however this is not the case. Massage applied skillfully is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the body. Received regularly, Sports Massage may help prevent injuries that can be caused not only by overuse in sporting activity but by a constant build up of tension in the muscles, this can be caused equally by lifestyle, perhaps sitting in an office for long periods at a time hunched over a computer, or having a profession that involves carrying out a repetitive task. Tight muscles will then cause an imbalance in the body which may then lead to stress on joints, ligaments and tendons.
In order to improve flexibility, agility and all round muscular balance, Sports Massage will help to warm, lengthen and increase blood flow into the muscles. Physical aches and pains, whether they are caused by sport, injury, or the stresses of modern day life, will gradually disappear with all the various techniques that accompany Sports Massage.

- tight calves and/or hamstrings

With regular Sports Massage, the loosening of tight achy muscles will bring an all round balance to your body.
