Muscles are covered by a layer connective tissue called fascia which covers and connects our whole body and which requires constant supply of blood and nutrients.

When injured or when pushed too hard – either by doing to much or going too far - muscle tissue becomes damaged throwing the body out of its normal healthy functioning paterns.

Tissue fluids cannot then reach the areas they need to, to lubricate the fascia. The fascia begins to become hard and scar tissue and adhesions occur further trapping toxins such as lactic acid, within that area.

In addition this can often be accompanyed by the body setting up a series of structural adaptations in an attempt to remedy the situation, which tends to lead to further pain and problems as they are, by nature, compensation rather than a rectification of the actual problem.

Sports massage is a restorative therapy that deals directly with the body’s soft tissue. It is a very effective treatment for the release of muscle tension and an ideal way to restore balance to the overworked musculoskeletal system.

Remedial massage assists healing and rehabilitation of injuries and dysfunction and facilitates movement and the relief of physical & physiological stress on the body.

Sport and Remedial Massage can even effects the nervous system and help recalibrate sensory input. This will allow more relaxation and regularly gives way to feelings of well being. Recent research sugests that relaxation in this way positively impacts the immune system’s ability to function and thereby improves overall health.

Regularly treatment also seems to help prevent injuries which might otherwise be caused by overuse.
