SPORTS INJURY TREATMENTS
Sports injuries can be agonising, debilitating and frustrating. But Sports Injury Treatments can go a long way towards alleviating pain and speeding up recovery. There are four important elements in the treatment, which is geared towards getting you back on your feet, or picking up that racket again, as swiftly and as comfortably as possible.
Sports Injury Treatments…
… help improve your performance potential and recovery time.
… reduce stiffness and improve range of movement around the joints
… help break down adhesions and realign microfibres of damaged muscle.
Massage…
Scientific research has demonstrated that massage used prior to, during and post-exercise can result in improved performance, reduced risk of injury and faster recovery time. Athletes have been tuned to these benefits for a number of years and the demand for sports-specific massage has significantly increased during this period. The integration of massage and exercise using an interdisciplinary approach to performance enhancement and injury rehabilitation is the key to success.
Rehabilitation…
Simple exercises are designed to complement your massage treatment, overcoming conditions which may be restricting your sporting performance. You will learn strength development and muscle flexibility exercises based on passive, active and resisted stretches. By making these an integral part of training, you will be able to improve your performance potential and recovery time. The correct application of these techniques can then be regularly incorporated into your lifestyle and sport, enabling you to achieve greater muscle strength and flexibility. Improvements to postural alignment and movement techniques will also help to avoid further injuries which may limit your sporting performance.
Repair…
The promotion of muscle and ligament tissue repair is essential to ensure full functional rehabilitation. A combination of intensive massage, stretching techniques and muscle manipulation helps to break down adhesions and realign the micro-fibres of damaged muscle tissue and collagen fibres in ligament tissue.
Relaxation…
A combination of oils and deep tissue work relaxes muscles to reduce stiffness and improve range of movement around the joints. Stimulation of localised blood flow brings more nutrients to the muscles and removes waste, which causes pain and stiffness. Relaxation exercises are designed to complement your massage treatment, assisting in the physical, physiological and emotional restoration after any muscle trauma.
A Sports Injury Treatment starts with a detailed consultation, a full body assessment and postural analysis. (Some sports injuries happen because of poor general posture.) Each consultation will be tailored to the specific requirements of the client and their injury.
