| Prevention is always better than cure. | |||
| Sports massage has long been recognised as valuable in both the prevention and treatment of sports injuries, ensuring that muscles are in peak condition, aiding recovery and enhancing performance. It differs from therapeutic massage in that it is a deeper form of soft tissue massage using specific techniques to treat individuals, who may be vulnerable to injury because of stresses placed on the body through sport or other physically demanding activities. |
