"When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied" - Herophilus

Sports and Remedial Massage :


This form of therapy is specified for the treatment of injury and soft tissue/mechanical imbalances. It gained attention through the athlete Paavo Nurmi in 1924. He won several gold medals at the Paris Olympics in one day. He sited this style of massage as one of the important components of his training.


Now it is commonplace for both local and Premiership Football Clubs such as West Ham F.C., or athletes at the Olympics to have Sports Massage as part of their warm up or recovery from events or training.


Having said this, anyone with a soft tissue injury or imbalance can benefit from a Sports Massage. It can benefit sports and non sports people alike with both acute and chronic injury, plus re occurring muscular and postural problems encountered through everyday living.   

Sports Massage may:


Help you with faster recovery from trauma in workouts


Help increase your flexibility and range of motion in the joints.


Help reduce your injury healing time in comparison to one left to heal alone.


Reduce your muscle tension
