Sports and Remedial Massage or Deep Tissue Massage is a deep treatment that loosens up tight muscles, breaks up adhesions in muscle fibres, and generally focuses on restoring and/or maintaining the full functionality of your muscles. It can help your muscles perform better and prevent injury. Muscle injuries will often heal more effectively with the help of sports massage.
A lot of our clients come with issues that do not stem from sports activities. Specifically, long hours at the desk can lead to all kinds of muscular-skeletal issues. Massage often is extremely helpful in relieving the discomfort that comes with such issues. Often, we will also be able to suggest simple exercises that are likely to help.
