SPORTS/REMEDIAL MASSAGE
If you have a sporting injury or even a non-sporting injury – I can help you!
With the growing number of people taking part in sport and combined with the increasing competitiveness and intensity of physical exercise, the demand for sports massage is increasing and becoming more recognised in aiding recovery, enhancing performance and helping to alleviate non sporting overuse injuries.
Sports and remedial massage is an effective therapy for releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musco-skeletal system. A constant build up of tension may lead to stresses on the joints, ligaments, tendons as well as muscles themselves.
It is not just for sports – you can get an overuse condition by using the computer too or strain a muscle by picking something up that was too heavy or awkward, in fact a lot of tightness and imbalances are from work and everyday activities.
As a qualified Sports Massage Therapist & Complementary Therapist Lisa is able to treat a wide range of symptoms and ailments.
This is done through several types of massage:
Signature Deep Tissue Massage

A full body massage focusing on deep tissue work, lymphatic drainage, trigger point work and stretching. This is a uninterrupted treatment for either 30, 60 or 90 minutes, it differs from Remedial/Sports Massage a little in pressure but mainly in that its pace is slower and firm, rather than faster massage movements and firm (in sports massage).
