Massage
Massage is an ancient art form, and one of the most natural and instinctive means of relieving pain and discomfort. When we hurt ourselves our instinctive impulse is to rub that part of our body.
Massage was first mentioned in writing back in 2000 BC (4000 years ago) and Hippocrates (460 - 377BC) was the first to describe the medical benefits of massage. Today there are many research institutes around the world that scientifically measure the benefits of massage
How can Massage help you?
Training for an upcoming sports event or season? Put a stop to those aches & pains that hold you back from training at your full potential.
· Recover more quickly after your training
· Decrease muscle fatigue and tension
· Improve your flexibility and prevent injury
· Enhance your performance and maximise your training
· Increase circulation and lymphatic drainage
Stressed Out or Developing RSI? More people are beginning to recognise that regular massage helps significantly reduce both mental and physical stress. This in turn, helps increase your energy levels, improve your outlook on life, and in the process helps boost your immune system.
Massage is an ideal way to relieve pain from:
· Back injury
· Overuse syndrome
· Stress related pain
· Neck and shoulder problems
· Lower limb problems
· Postural stress
· Sports injury
Massage is used in conjunction with other health professionals to:
· Rehabilitate from an injury
· Lower anxiety and blood pressure levels
· Reduce the intensity and number of headache days for migraine suffers
· Increase range of motion and flexibility
· Improve posture and correct muscle imbalances
· Increase body awareness
