Sport and Remedial Massage is a form of Deep Tissue Massage which tends to be deeper and more targeted; although the long, slow and gentle strokes associated with a classic massage are used to relax the patient and prepare the area to be worked on.

It is a clinical treatment that also integrates techniques not normally associated with other forms of massage. It releases and relieves muscular problems encountered by participating in both everyday and sporting activities. A sports massage may:

• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
• Assist in the removal of metabolic waste
• Increase or decrease muscle tone
• Increase or decrease muscle length
• Remodel scar tissue when required
• Assist in mental preparation for sporting participation
