Did you know...
That Sports Massages are not just for athletes?
Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue through various techniques. Sports Massage may also enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
Sports Massage assists in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma - this doesn't have to be from exercise, often it is work/hobby related.
