WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A TREATMENT SESSION?
I offer a professional, personal and confidential service designed to meet your specific
condition. Individual treatment plans are specifically developed to suit you.
I cater for all aspects of pain and injury management that can occur in your daily or sporting life as well as offering expertise in preventing and managing your injury.
At your first session I will take an extensive history, this is then followed by functional assessments and specific tests may be carried out.
The history taking and functional assessments are essential in order for me to accurately diagnose the problem and your treatment plan will be based on the diagnosis. The remainder of the session involves hands on treatment.
Follow up sessions involve more treatment and less assessments, you will also be responsible in aiding your recover through home care exercises.
WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
Sports massage is an energetic form of massage with benefits that can be felt by elite and amateur athletes alike. Sports massage should be used as a preventative tool to keep the body healthy.
It works with the soft tissues of the body e.g. the muscles, ligaments and tendons.
It is a very effective form of therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system. The biggest risk in the quest for enhanced performance is of course injury.
Sports massage has a great potential in this area as you can use it to prevent injury and this is why many top competitors use it as part or their training regime. With regular treatment, they are in a better position to sustain high levels of performance without getting injured.
