Veronica Mowatt Sports Massage

When you attend your first treatment there will be a consultation and then massage. During the consultation you will be asked your current and relevant medical history, your muscle and body alignment is checked for muscle imbalances and postural problems through special tests.

The sports massage treatment may involve a firmer massage compared to aromatherapy massage depending on the problem, with often other techniques in addition to massage such as PNF stretches, resisted movements and Acupuncture which is optional. This will help promote flexibility and a greater range of movement for the muscles. Deep static pressure may be used to target localised tension.

Does sports massage hurt? Some forms of massage are very superfical and can be very relaxing. A sports massage is applied deeper to manipulate muscle tissue more effectively. This can induce a deeper relaxation although at the time some techniques may border on the uncomfortable.
