Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage uses pressure applied with the palms, forearms or elbows to affect the inner layers of muscle and connective tissue. The aim is to:
-
Break up scar tissue following injury
-
Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
-
Increase blood flow and reduce inflammation to promote faster healing
-
Help relaxation
Deep tissue is used to to treat conditions such as:
-
Chronic muscular pain
-
Sports injuries
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Sciatica
-
Tennis elbow
Continued Care
Specific stretches and exercises may be given to enable the patient to help their recovery at home, as well as general advice about using hot/cold therapy and lifestyle changes that could help recovery time and reoccurrences in the future.
It is not unusual to feel soreness for a few days following your massage, if you have any concerns please get in contact.
