Sports Remedial Massage

About:

Contrary to popular belief, sports remedial massage is not just for sportsmen. It is designed to overall help performance and reduce pain and injury for anyone. ‘Remedial’ is a term that applies to approach rather than a set of specific techniques. It is a system of the examination and application of techniques to work with musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions. The goal is to work together with the patient to create the conditions that best help the body return to optimal health after some form of injury or pain.
