Overview of a sports massage
Unlike relaxation massage, sports and remedial massage uses deeper techniques designed to release tension from muscles and their attachments. Some clients describe it as “massage with a purpose”. It is also a method of identifying potential ‘problem’ areas early before it become a serious issue. If necessary a referral can then be made to a different practitioner such as an Osteopath.
