Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Clinical massage or Soft Tissue Massage are essentially the same treatment just by a different name.

It involves the manipulation of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia) of the body, focusing on the areas of the body that are in need of treatment but always treating the body holistically as a whole.

A variety of advanced hands-on massage techniques are used, including (if suitable for you) effleurage, petrissage, compression, tapotement, vibration, myofascial work, trigger point work and friction.

This type of massage can help:

• reduce pain
• ease stiffness, and tensions in the body
• reduce muscular spasms
• reduce swelling
• help prevent injury
• speed up recovery
• improve energy levels
• reduce stress
• improve sleep
• improve range of movement/ flexibility
