Massage

Soft tissue massage is a fantastic way to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, promote healing and reduce pain.

Massage is the manual mobilisation of soft tissues and aims to treat muscles, tendons and ligaments that are not functioning at optimal capacity either from damage, tension or pathologies. Muscle tension and problems can cause pain both at the site and radiate to other areas of the body. Massage aims to loosen and reset problematic soft tissues including muscles, tendons and ligaments by altering the state of the muscle fibres for greater comfort, blood flow and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes.

It is helpful for a large number of conditions and is used with almost every client’s physiotherapy management.

Benefits of soft tissue massage include:

• Reduced muscle tension

Massage is tailored to each individual's needs and can assist in pain relief as well as injury prevention and overall relaxation.
