Injured? Aching? Sore? In Pain?
I may be able to help you.
Massage has a range of benefits that make it a useful healing therapy:
- Improving circulation and carrying essential nutrients to injured or problem areas
- Improving lymphatic drainage to remove harmful waste products from sites of injury or areas of prolonged tension
- Stimulating the nervous system to facilitate healing
- Breaking down the excess scar tissue and adhesions that can form in problem areas
- Promoting relaxation; improving muscle tone
Releasing holding/stress patterns within the myofascial network to improve posture and function.
Remedial Massage makes use of a wide range of techniques such as:
- Joint mobilization techniques
- Trigger point therapy
- Myofascial release techniques
- Deep tissue massage
- Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
With this type of therapy I usually work on specific areas and not always on the site of pain. There is more about this on the following pages.
Many athletes, from amateur to professional standard, enjoy the benefits of pre and post event sports massage. This type of sports massage is helpful in speeding up recovery, spotting areas of concern and dealing with them before they cause problems.
You don't have to be a sports person to benefit from sports massage. I can provide both sports or Swedish style therapeutic massage as well.
"It is rare to find someone with such passion and knowledge for what he does. After 15 years of competing I find myself extremely lucky to get regular massage from Kevin."
