A Sports massage is ideal to treat injuries and as well as a preventative treatment dealing with the health of muscle and connective tissue, range of movement, tone, symmetry, balance of muscle and quality of posture.

To further define the role as a 'Sports Therapist' would be 'the manipulation of soft tissue to release tension, reduce pain, restore range of movement and promote good condition'. This is achieved through a range of techniques I possess and carry around in my 'tool bag', some of which are effective on some people, some of which are not. It is then down to me to work with the client to find the right tools to unravel their current injury situation or assist them with their training program. Essentially the 'manipulation of soft tissue' in my books means moving muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue around in a range of ways to achieve the desired effect.
