As a sports injuries specialist, my main purpose is to help alleviate the stress and tension that builds up in the body's soft tissues during physical activity.
Where minor injuries and adhesions occur, due to overexertion and or overuse, sports massage can break them down quickly and effectively.
This treatment will help to relieve swelling, reduce tension, promote flexibility and prevent further injuries.
Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether you are a serious athlete or a once a week jogger.
The following are just a few of the injuries that can be treated:
•Tennis Elbow •Golfers Elbow •Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
•Frozen Shoulder •Rotator cuff injuries
•Runners knee •Shin splints •Achilles tendonitis
Sports massage can also include pre-event, post-event and maintenance massage as part of an athlete's training programme.
The techniques used can lessen the chance of injury and greatly reduce recovery time.
Kilkenny massage has organised and provided pre and post even massage for the Kilkenny Triathlon since its inaugural event in July 2010.
I look forward to seeing you at my clinic soon.
