Results Fitness Management

As sports people we tend to push our bodies hard, short-changing it on recovery and sleep in the quest of balancing work, life and sport. Or in some cases fitting work and life around sport. Sports massage not only helps sort out injuries, it can keep you on track with your training plan. Sports massage is not about getting your elbow stuck in as hard as possible and causing as much pain as possible. We believe that deep and hard are two very different things, we will work at the depth needed within your pain tolerance. If a technique is applied too hard, the tissue will contract and the therapists fingers/elbows won't be allowed to effect any change in the tissue. The key to a good sports and remedial massage is to effect a change in the tissues and then to ensure any rehab exercises are effective in changing the structure of the body back to a more normal state. We monitor the changes taking place in your tissue and in subsequent treatments we look to see what changes have taken place, this guides our treatment and enables us to pick up on other areas which may need attention, for instance the building blocks (food to you and I) you're putting into your body which affect your tissue, your training and recovery or your training equipment.
