TREATMENT TYPES
Sports Massage
Sports Massage utilises a range of different techniques to reduce pain & discomfort, improve & enhance muscle performance, develop flexibility and increase range of movement. It is essential in helping to repair and restore mobility after an injury, shortening any recovery time, accelerating healing. Our professional training has given us a detailed knowledge of the body’s anatomy & physiology necessary to assess and treat clients. Although its name suggests that it is exclusively for sports people, in fact these techniques can equally be adopted for injuries, aches and pains, which occur through any occupational and reacreational lifestyles.
Kinesio Taping
Inspired by Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase, he developed a muscle treatment in 1979 that he named the Kinesio Taping Method. This taping method gently lifts the layer of skin and attached tissue covering a muscle so that blood and other body fluids can move more freely in and around that muscle.
Scientifically inconclusive, there is much anecdotal evidence that this treatment is effective and is now widely used throughout elite sport and more and more for rehabilitation and as well as a preventative treatment.
