Benefits of Remedial Massage:
Key benefits of Remedial Massage include the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed, the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort, and the toning and relaxing of the muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic massage.
Sports massage is used for injury prevention, pre and post sport events preparation and recovery, flexibility, endurance and increased performance. It can be incorporated into an athletes’ training programme to optimise performance.
