Sports and remedial massage is a deep tissue massage for the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues (e.g. muscles, ligaments and tendons). It helps to create the conditions for the body’s return to normal health, speeds up the recovery process and encourages complete healing by:
- Improving circulation and lymphatic flow
- Assisting in the removal of metabolic waste products
- Assisting in the removal of damaged cells and adhesions left after injury
- Sedating or stimulating nerve endings
- Increasing or decreasing muscle tone and length
- Helping remodel scar tissue
