Sports massage is a deep tissue massage using a variety of techniques, such as Neuro-Muscular Technique and Soft Tissue Release.  These can be aimed at a specific localised areas to help with injury, or as part of a full body treatment.

Anyone who has an old, new or recurring injury can benefit from a sports massage, physically active people who want to include massage as part of their training regime, and people who want a deep tissue massage can also benefit from a sports massage.

Sports massage can aid a training programme as it helps to reduce swelling and adhesions, increase muscle tone, definition and  can also improve strength and flexibility of muscles.

Sport massage can aid the prevention of injury as well as speeding up recovery time by helping with mobilisation, the stretching of muscles to their full length and potential, and by stimulating your lymphatic system.  Anyone can benefit from this treatment, you don't have to be an athlete to have an injury!

Most athletes today are including sports massage in their lifestyle, if you are training or playing sports regularly, or are just an active person, why don't you include massage?  I can combine sports massage and a lymphatic drainage massage to give you the best possible combination of treatments to enhance your sporting/aerobic performance. 

Kirstie also offers a wide range of advice and information sheets on stretching, diet, and many other aspects relating to training.
