What is Sport & Remedial Massage Therapy. The prime purpose of massage is to help alleviate the stress and tension
that can build up in the body's soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). In sport, this work takes on a special role in helping to enhance performance and prevent injury, by promoting recovery and monitoring the condition of the tissues. As well as the general therapeutic value of massage, it can also safely and effectively deal with many minor soft tissue problems. These are by far the most common of all injuries, which often cause considerable pain and dysfunction in the short term, and may lead to more serious long-term problems. Most injuries in sport are of an overuse nature and the cause of this overuse needs to be identified and remedied, otherwise the injury is likely to recur. In life itself, painful conditions often result from long term postural and/or occupational stresses, which also need to be identified and altered if possible. |
