Sports Massage

Nikky is also qualified in Sports Massage and offers this therapy at Roundhill Pilates & Physiotherapy Centre in Fordingbridge.

Sports Massage incorporates the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons. The primary purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Sports massage tends to be deeper and more intense than other massage therapies, and utilises specific techniques such as Swedish style massage, MET (muscle energy technique), NMT (neuromuscular technique) and stretching to assist the healing and rehabilitation of injuries or dysfunction in order to facilitate improved movement. All treatments are individually tailored.

Sports Massage is not just for sports people - occupational, emotional and postural stress may lead to pain or movement dysfunction so the benefits are for everyone…

	Increased flexibility		Increased sense of well-being
	Improved circulation		Decreased muscle tension
	Restores balance to the musculo-skeletal system

In this way, massage and Pilates work hand in hand to help you achieve balanced, pain-free and natural movement patterns
