Why Therapeutic Sports Massage?
Sports massage naturally benefits almost everyone, not just athletes. Sessions are focused on restoring and alleviating tense areas most vulnerable to injury. It also helps to address imbalances from repetitive daily body mechanics where neglected areas that require more attentive care may go unnoticed.
What are benefits of Sports Massage?
Since previous times sports massage has been used to support the body’s immune system and serve as an injury preventative from extreme physical training. Results of sports massage include reducing muscle tension and pain, calming the nervous system, leading to an increased range of motion and enhanced sense of well being.
