If the current Olympic coverage is making you wince or you wish you could take part but a niggling injury makes this seem impossible then remedial massage is designed to help relieve pain and mobility problems.
Throughout the Olympics we’ve heard many stories of athletes working their way back from career-threatening injuries and may have even witnessed some nasty tumbles during a match or race. If it wasn’t for the existence of remedial massage and sports therapy/physiotherapy then many top athletes could have seen their careers finish before now.
Maybe your injury was caused by something more much down to earth than a gold medal race, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worthy of professional treatment. During a session, your therapist will take a thorough consultation to assess exactly what the problem is and how it affects your movement and lifestyle, looking at your precise symptoms and medical history. You may be surprised to learn how pains in one area of the body could be connected to somewhere else entirely! You may be given exercises to do to help speed your recovery, you can be assured of expert advice as to the best way to approach your own personal recovery.
Remedial massage isn’t a treatment you could sleep through, like Swedish massage but it is a highly effective method of rehabilitation that could start you back on your road to recovery.
