Types of massage
There are many different types of massage therapy and it can be confusing. Soft Tissue Therapy not only provides great massage to help recovery, it also addresses the causes of injury and pain using well-researched techniques, and advice. If you play a sport professionally, then regular sports massage is likely to be part of your recovery routine and can be available for short, frequent daily sessions as well as longer, more intense sessions.
Many non-athletes spend the majority of time sitting for work, travel or leisure and are likely to suffer from different physical stresses. Heather will help identify your sources of stress and strain, taking into account underlying postural habits and expectations. Remedial massage includes a targeted approach to those areas that have been identified as needing massage to alleviate your aches and pains.
Soft Tissue Therapy and Remedial massage is suitable for anyone suffering with aches and pains. Once your injury or pain is alleviated, Heather recommends a regular massage to keep your body in best condition.
