HOW CAN SPORTS MASSAGE BENEFIT ME?

With hard training athletes 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 the 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 masseur can detect these tissue changes through touch and by manipulating and mobilising the soft tissues they can help restore balance to the affected area.

Natasha is a local Sports Massage Therapist in Stowmarket.
