Sports massage treatment can also help people who may suffer with postural abnormalities which may cause joint impingements or reduced mobility of a joint, increased muscular tone, muscle spasticity and cramping.
Treatment offered includes physical soft tissue manipulation/kneading of the muscles/joint on the area where the pain is originating from. The aim is to reduce pain, muscle tone, spasticity and improve individuals’ overall range of movement and posture.
