Life can take a toll on our bodies especially when we do repetitive tasks over and over.

While we might try our best in stretching our doing warm ups, inevitably our muscles get sore or tension builds in our bodies. If that’s the case for you, it sounds like a remedial/sports massage will help you feel better.

So if you want to continue doing the same exercises, improve physical performance or just keep up physically at work, our team is able to help you. Our team has a number of techniques available and can use different tension levels to get the desired result of reduced tightness or tension.

Here are some people who often come get a remedial massage

• Tradies: constant hard labour that has affects on the whole body
• People standing up or sitting down all day: Back pain or sore necks are the usual issue here
• Repetitive task jobs: People in warehousing or similar jobs who do the same task over and over. Specific issues related to some awkward body movement.

Our team has worked with athletes, professional trainers, tradies and many different people who need quality care to work on tough areas.

We don’t do those massages where you get the same massage every time which doesn’t actually work on the areas that you need. We tailor the work to what you need through assessment of your body and your choice.

So it really doesnt matter what tasks your doing or the job you have, remedial massage can help with your muscle or tension issue.

Our team’s job is to understand the issues. focus the work on this need and help you feel better. Please not that some trouble areas might need a number of sessions and your therapist can help explore what techniques can help.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage has very similar techniques within remedial massage however the specific focus is on trouble areas that are preventing the person to continue doing the sport or exercise they want.

Some sports massage benefits are

• Muscle soreness reduction
• Increase movement ability
• Increase blood circulation
• Increase ability to return to gym or exercise
• Help with muscle fatigue
• Reduce potential injury

If you are in training in a sport or pushing yourself in the gym, its really important to take care of your body.

A good sports masseuse can help you achieve your goals by the above benefits. A common problem with athletes or sports people is that they over work their muscles with little rest periods or self care.

Take the time for the long terms goals of improved fitness and sustained performance over time
