Back Pain comes in many forms and varieties. Regular massage and an exercise routine can help reduce the severity of back pain. It can also help improve posture.

Stress Headaches and Migraines

Sports Injuries

​

Injuries that can be treated by massage include strain, sprains and tears by helping to breaking down scar tissue in the muscle. Treating overuse injuries - cramp, muscular fatigue and tightness, helps restore the muscle to it normal length and remove the trigger points and tight areas.
Maintenance massage is also important in sporting settings as it can help reduce injury and allow you to get optimal performance out of your muscles
Massage creates a localised increase in pressure, which helps with the removal of muscle waste like lactic acid.
Lactic acid builds up in muscles during and immediately after strenuous exercise - limiting the recovery of muscles and their effectiveness.
Additionally, massage stretches other tissues that cannot be reached by alternative methods. A regular massage is insurance against injury.

Tendinopathies

Diabetes

​

Diabetes can cause a lack of circulation and neuropathy in the limbs. This in turn leads to muscle atrophy and nerve insensitivity. Although it has to be approached with caution, massage will return some of the function and feel or at least slow the deterioration.
A maintenance program will benefit the sufferer significantly in many cases, with improved mobility, circulation and feel.
