I would recommend a Swedish Massage for any athlete. There are many different types of massage; the differences vary in the application of the massage (pressure, technique) as well as the goals and limitations of the person receiving it. In my own experience, I have worked on runners and cyclists. The muscle groups differ with each athlete, but massage is important no matter the sport an individual is involved in. Circulatory System Increases circulation and lowers blood pressure Emphasizes the elimination of metabolic wastes. This is also effective because it lessens ischemia (reduction of blood supply to organs and/or tissues which affects muscular pain) Improves the lymphatic system which also removes waste from the body thus resulting in less swelling from injury.
I am a well-established and experienced therapist, practicing since 1995. I take a holistic approach to your treatment, which means working over the whole body to ensure that the root cause of the problem is addressed and that I'm not simply treating the symptoms! I use a combination of recognised techniques which are tailored to meet your personal requirements.
