Sports massage tends to be a deeper and more intense form of massage. It is based
on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching,
compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu. The skilled therapist
brings together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with the client to bring
about optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries.
