Sports Massage is a deep tissue massage technique and promotes the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons.
Anyone can benefit from a Sports Massage at The Northern Integrative Health Practice in Sacriston, Durham - you do not have to be an athlete. Many office workers, manual labourers and those who like gardening, walking, jogging and many other past times can benefit. Their regular and repetitive activity, such as sat at a desk or lifting heavy objects all day can result in slight muscle strains or stiffness which a sports massage can relieve and assist recovery.
The techniques used by our sports massage practitioners at The NIHP at the Sacriston Practice have been developed to ensure effective and efficient results are gained from each massage given. The reported benefits of Sports Massage include:
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
