Whether you're suffering from injury, needing help to release tight muscles/connective tissue, or simply looking to relieve tension and/or recover from training, Massage Therapy can be of enormous benefit.
Massage has a vast number of applications, and various types have been used extensively since Ancient Greek times. A typical session involves the applied pressure and manipulation of the muscles, the depth and tension determined by the client's needs - the two main distinctions being Swedish Massage (or 'Classical' Massage), and Sports Massage.
Swedish Massage is far lighter and more therapeutic, designed to relax and provide relief in structures especially susceptible to the effects of stress and tension. In contrast, Sports Massage usually involves much firmer pressure, with deeper manipulation to enable the release of knots and lesions within the body, plus the breakdown of any accumulated scar tissue.
Studies have shown a significant effect from Massage Therapy on pain relief, reduced anxiety, and recovery from soft tissue injury, and it is becoming increasingly used by sedentary and active people alike.
