Sports & Remedial Massage

Sports massage is a deep form of soft tissue work appropriate to all. Receiving a sports massage on a regular basis can help with injury prevention, aid in increasing joint flexibility, reduce pain and inflammation from overuse during physical activity and promote a faster recovery following injury.

Remedial massage is a form of massage that treats problem areas such as tension, restriction in movement and tightness of a muscle, using knot release and firm pressure, helping conditions of the body to return to normal health after injury.

Sports massage and remedial massage help to speed up recovery and encourage more complete healing in strains, sprains, any injury where the skin is intact, repetitive strain injury, back pain, damaged cells, scar tissue and adhesions left after injury.

If you are already a patient here, Alethea will liaise with our physios to make sure she understands your problem. Or if you simply come in for a massage she will ensure she has a good understanding of what is needed and will provide a comprehensive, professional sports massage.

This is very important to The Physical Therapy Clinic and we will look at the 'whole' person – taking into account previous medical history, work and lifestyle – before devising a treatment programme that is tailored to an individual's needs.
