Sports Massage can help to relieve muscle tension and restore balance to the musculoskeletal system.

Massage has long been recognized for its benefits in healing of mind, body and spirit. Sports massage is a type of massage therapy that has been specifically developed for sports performance. This type of massage is applied at a much deeper level into the tissues in order to stimulate the muscular and nervous systems. Your therapist can adapt the application of the sports massage to your specific needs, whether you are preparing for an event or need assistance with recovery post-event.

At Achilles Heel Clinic, our massage therapists are all appropriately qualified with the relevant qualifications.

Athletes and non-athletes alike are prone to developing overuse injuries. Regular sports massage is a great way to help avoid developing injuries. As athletes train regularly, tension can begin to build up in the muscles, which may then affect joint mobility. This may then cause excessive stress on the ligaments, joints and tendons and the muscular system itself. If left undiagnosed, this may eventually lead to pain and affect the athlete's performance. A skilled massage therapist can detect these tissue changes through touch and by manipulating and mobilizing the soft tissues, they can help restore balance to the area.
