Sports Massage

 

Sports massage is the physical conditioning and performance orientated discipline of
massage. It's fundamental aim is to heal and promote the circulatory and lymphatic systems
which greatly assists injury prevention.

 

Sports massage will also increase power, endurance and flexibility close to an event or workout. Before I get in to the technical aspects and techniques, it's worth noting that sports massage is not just for sports enthusiasts.

 

I treat patients from all walks of life and profession, for which it is very effective at delivering impressive condition relief and help.

 

There are many aspects to sports massage driven by sports science from specific stretching, mobilisation, trigger points and exercise.

Massage Techniques:

  • Deep friction.

  • Muscle Energy Techniques (MET’s).

    *uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions aimed at relaxing and 

    lengthening the muscles.       

  • Joint mobilisation techniques.

  • Myofascial release techniques. *focuses on releasing the pain from the tough coverings (myofascial tissues) that wrap, connect and support muscles.

  • PNF stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) or muscle length stretching to increase neuromuscular efficiency.

  • Soft Tissue Release (STR).

  • Trigger pressure pointing/Neuromuscular techniques to soften and relax diminishing tight points and pain.

  • Passive stretching, is holding one position for a set time.

  • Extensive rehabilitation and exercise prescription.

  • Pre- and post-event massage.

Dry Needling
'Medical Acupuncture'

Dry needling is a system also referred to as Medical Acupuncture where needles are inserted
into specific areas of tense muscle tissue in order to release tension, assisting with relaxation and recovery.

 

Acupuncture is based on channel theory and the energy flow (prana) whilst dry needling is about releasing tight muscle tissue.

 

The needles focus on easing tight muscles by penetration stimulation causing the release of natural opioids and endorphins to bring about the body's innate ability to heal itself.

 

If you've not had this kind of treatment before, don't worry the needles are thin as a hair and quite comfortable. Rest assured you should find this a very relaxing and energising experience.
