Massage is suitable for the relief of pain for all ages, from infants to senior citizens, and from all walks of life. Sports massage is primarily used for the serious athlete, as it focuses on the specific muscles which are particularly relevent. But you don't have to be a serious athlete to benefit from Sports massage. It can be used on anyone who may have, or is prone to muscle or joint problems or injuries.
Massage addresses all kinds of different health issues, by far the most common being stress. Stress is 80-90% the cause of many health problems. Also, when you are stressed, your immune system is weakened making you more prone to illness and disease.
As a sports therapist, Sue can identify any potential problem area and can adapt her treatment specifically to your needs and requirements.
