Sports massage is used to prepare the athlete for upcoming sporting events and to aid the body in recovery after the event. Sports Massage is ideal for the weekend athlete, as well as the professional athlete. Sara has experience of massage in the sports of golf, football, squash, lacrosse, mountain biking, running, martial arts, rugby and more. Sports massage is ideal for the younger and older athletes and focuses on flexibility and performance.
Most sporting activities involve the repetitive use of certain muscle groups, which can result in muscle imbalances, changes in ligaments and tendons, and compensatory patterns in the rest of the body. These changes can result in the development of problems within the soft tissues of the body. The aim of sports massage is to reduce the demands placed on the body by specific sports, reduce the time taken to recover from sporting activity and increase the ability of the body to perform the sport.
