Sports massage
Why might you need a massage?
When a muscle feels tight, tender, weak or painful it is a sign that it's congested. Muscle that is congested does not function at its full potential and will hold you back in carrying out a specific task be it athletic performance or a day to day activity. Deep tissue sports massage can help to decongest and improve the condition of the muscle which will alleviate the symptom.
