Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity and immobility from a sedentary life.

Sports massage can be used to:

  • Prevent or treat injuries by treating small niggles and imbalances that could become bigger problems.

  • Assist in the recovery process of a current injury. Muscles, tendons and ligaments are worked on to reduce the build-up of scar tissue and inflexible muscle fibres that may have occurred through injury, swelling and inflammation, the massage techniques encourage the flow of blood which can support the bodies healing processes.

  • Enhance performance by supporting the bodies repair process and detecting areas of tension or restriction that can prevent development of speed, strength or endurance

This type of treatment can help you whether you are a serious athlete, someone who enjoys regular exercise or you have decided to start training for a special sporting challenge

Dry Cupping

Dry cupping is an ancient form of alternative therapy that originated in China and is primarily used to ease pain. It involves placing specially designed cups on the skin on the back, stomach, arms, legs, or other body parts to create suction, drawing fluid to the affected area.

Dry cupping has several benefits, including:

  • Pain relief: Cupping therapy may help alleviate pain by increasing blood flow to the affected area and reducing inflammation.

  • Improved blood circulation: Cupping therapy may help improve blood circulation by promoting peripheral blood flow.

  • Reduced muscle tension: Cupping therapy may help reduce muscle tension and spasms by increasing blood flow to the affected area.
