What is Massage?
Massage Therapy is one of the oldest known and effective therapies for releasing tension, enducing relaxation, treatment for soft tissue pain and dysfunction within the body. Massage can aid in the flushing of lactic acid and realigning scar tissue post activity, and restoring balance to the muscular-skeletal system. Massage received regularly can help prevent injuries that might be caused by muscle overuse, which over time can build up muscle tension and may consequently lead to stresses on the joints and associated structures creating further injury and pain. Sports Massage can also be used in Pre and Post event Inter competition environments in addition to being used for general maintenance.
