I challenge myself with every client to find the origin of the problem, as well as treating the symptoms. Every one of us is individual and it requires a thorough assessment to discover this, but it is actually my favourite part of the job. I will talk you through your assessment and help you to understand why you are experiencing pain, or why this injury has occurred. It will assist you going forward during the rehabilitation stage. To support you at home, I can offer you some strengthening and conditioning exercises and advise you if some further therapy is required. This will help to prevent an injury from reoccurring.

Sports massage should play a part in the life of any active athlete, whether they are injured or not, but also has many benefits for non-athletes;

• Improves circulation of blood, keeping organs healthy and eliminating toxins and waste products
• Releases endorphins that can block pain and are the body's "feel good" chemicals
• Relieves tension and stiffness in muscles and joints, helping to create an even myofascia and restoring musculoskeletal balance throughout the body
• Breaks down scar tissue, adhesions and reduces swelling, giving a wider range of movement to joints
• Reduces pain and discomfort of an injury and promotes recovery
• Regular massage increases performance levels of the athlete and helps prolong their athletic career
• Maintains the body in optimum condition to prevent injury
