Remedial massage is a therapeutic technique that involves the manipulation of soft tissues to alleviate pain, promote healing, and improve overall well-being. At The Sports Clinic, we understand that massage has strong role to play in injury rehabilitation especially when used along side remedial exercise and sports specific strengthening and conditioning programs.

In elite sports you will see advanced manual therapy techniques used along side strength and conditioning programs. Many medical journals site the psychological benefits and perception of pain relief rather than performance boosting benefits. However, it is often argued that you win or lose with the mind and this is why many athletes use massage as a activation and recovery tool.

At The Sports Clinic we use advanced manual therapy techniques. You'll find active release techniques, Peripheral Neuro Facilitation (PNF), joint play and trigger point therapy, to name a few, to be the most effective when incorporated into a rehabilitation exercise programme or training.
