I always found an interest in human science and decided to take a step into a career in sports massage therapy. After completing my studies, I have been working at a busy physiotherapy clinic to gain professional experience.
We all love to play sport but can understand the problems it can bring. Attaining my degree in sports massage therapy has been an amazing experience and beneficial to many of my patients.
Sports massage is a form of a medical massage that works on particular areas of the body that have been stressed/ injured . Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury. Sports massage is ideal for athletes or those participating is daily activities that push their physical limits. It is also ideal for those who are restricted in their movement.
The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart. Swedish Massage is extremely therapeutic as it decreases muscle toxins, increases oxygen levels in the blood, and improves flexibility in the body.
Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to break down knots and relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for athletes and those who sit for long periods of time.
