Sports Massage

Sprains -

A sprain is considerably more painful than a strain and will often be impossible to exercise with. This is where muscles, tendons or ligaments have been stretched severely.

Massage is used to manipulate the muscles and maintain a good bloodflow to the affected area thereby stimulating the healing process; allowing you to take up your normal routine much quicker.

The following applies:

• rest the injury
• ice to reduce swelling
• compress to provide support
• elevate to stop fluid build up around the injury site
