Sports Massage Therapy

Sports Massage Therapy

In 2021 I decided to develop my knowledge further and trained to become a Sports Massage Therapist, this has helped me to gain more of an understanding on the human body, dysfunctional movement patterns and how to programme more effectively as a Personal Trainer.Sports Massage Therapy is a hands-on approach to help ease those aches and pains by reducing muscle tension, breaking down scar tissue & adhesions (knots) to increase blood flow, develop range of movement and to encourage correct movement patterns to prevent further issues.
