SPORTS MASSAGE
WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
Sports Massage has an overall aim of treatment to help enhance the athlete's performance at whatever level the sports person has reached. This can be achieved by helping to prevent injury, to identify potential overuse injuries, improve the athlete's self awareness and to help increase flexibility.

Regardless of your experiences in sport or exercise, whether you exercise socially or compete at an international level; sports massage may have something to offer you.
