Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy

 

sport massageSports Massage is a specific type of massage that is generally used on sporting individuals, but can also be used on any individual experiencing discomfort.


The purpose of Sports Massage Therapy is to provide support to the player before, during and after their event, helping them to maintain optimal performance levels and helping to prevent injury throughout the sporting event. Other effects of Sports Massage Therapy are alleviating tension in the muscles, reducing fatigue, minimising swelling and encouraging flexibility.


At CMK Therapy, we also promote the use of Sports Massage Therapy in the general upkeep of an athlete’s fitness. As any sporting individual will know, in order to improve at a sport, you must push your body, causing stress to certain muscles and joints. This stress on certain areas of the body can cause muscular imbalance, which can be identified and aided through Massage Therapy.


Massage therapy is also excellent for many individuals who have aching muscles from many activities, whether it's a hobby like gardening, or due to heavy physical work. Many people get tired, achy muscles just from sitting at computers all day.
