Sports massage is a deep tissue massage combining manual work with stretching techniques that can help treat a range of soft tissue problems, from tears, sprains, strains and scar tissue, to repetitive strain injury (RSI).

If you train regularly, sports massage helps the general maintenance of the muscles keeping them supple and potentially injury free. It is also useful pre and post a sporting event such as a run, as it can help minimise the risk of injury during training, and aid in recovery.

However you do not have to be 'sporty' to benefit from sports massage, as it can help ease general back and neck pain, and various postural problems associated with daily working lives such as sitting and working at a computer.
