Sports Injury

Due to the physical nature of sport many people frequently suffer with aches, pains & injuries. Aches & pains are usually the result of muscular imbalances causing irritation & inflammation at different sites throughout the body. Injury can be the result of accident or impact, or it can also occur as a result of an accumulation of muscular imbalance in the body that places undue tension & force upon different sites in the body that then causes an injury. Either way, the high physical demands of sport need a fast, effective solution that can see you back on the field as soon as possible performing at your best. If your body is in the right condition the rate of injury is highly reduced. If your body is in the right condition you can also greatly reduce recovery time, rehabilitation and effects of the injuries you sustain.

Sports massage is highly effective in the treatment of most physical complaints because in most cases the cause or reason for pain and injury in the body can be found in the muscles. Sports massage is 'muscle therapy'. Many treatments tend to over complicate the treatment for pain and injury, when treating the muscles is all that is needed to take the pain away. Many treatments also only focus on the symptoms,the site of injury, not actually treating the cause. For example, the hamstring strain ortear IS the injury but not necessarily the cause.It may be that you have a tilted pelvis that tightensup the lower back and causes pressure on thehamstring, which causes the strain or tear. Ifthe cause is not treated you may find yourself experiencing a reoccuring injury or a pain that may shift around the body as it compensates for the muscular tension and imbalances.

Each persons condition is unique to them, but it is identifying and treating the cause of the pain and injury that is essential when treating all sports injuries.
