It can be used on a preventative basis before any muscle pain has occurred.  In this case Petra will find any muscle knots or trigger points and work on them to release them.  These muscle knots may be work related or may have occurred due to the physical stresses of every da living.  Massage can also be very effective at relieving a feeling of generalised tightness / stiffness or tension in muscles particularly around the neck and shoulders and lower back area.  Sports massage can achieve a faster recovery time and less down time allowing you to return to sports more quickly.

When it is appropriate Petra works closely with our physiotherapists and uses massage to compliment physiotherapy treatment if muscle injury has occurred, ensuring the best possible outcome for clients.
