Services
Sports Massage Therapy (also known as Deep Tissue Massage) is based around the manipulation and assessment of the soft tissue in the body.
This soft tissue is made of muscle fibres, tendons and ligaments.
The treatments are designed and tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual client.
This can mean focussing on one particular troubled area, a muscle tear for example, or giving a more general treatment for the entire legs etc.
The real beauty and prime use of this kind of work is its use in injury prevention, by reducing tension build up and helping to improve flexibility.

Whether you're a professional athlete or just starting out running a couple of miles a week, everyone can benefit from a regular massage.
You don't even have to wait til you're injured (as a lot of people think) to come and see a Sports Therapist.
To date Mike has worked with many athletes from various sporting areas and a wide variety of abilities.
These range from people who simply enjoy a jog around the park once a week through to the very top level elite.
Mike has also had the privilege and satisfaction of working alongside Britain's Top Marathon coach Bud Baldaro as well as one of Britain's best ever distance runners, Ron Hill, at numerous seminars in York.

The type of treatment that you have depends on entirely on the reason for wanting it.
For example, if you wanted a pre-race/game treatment it would be vastly different to that needed to rectify a muscular problem.
Sadly the most common use for Sports massage therapy is to treat an injury (of varying severities), often the injury could have been avoided with the right course of preventative action.
If an injury is evident then the treatment will target the affected area and any other muscles that may have been affected.
