Sports Massage

Sports massage is designed to aid recovery from training and/or injury. Sports Massage is the term applied to the discipline of using techniques and massage for the specific benefit of all sports and exercise participants. It covers the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body eg. muscles, ligaments and tendons.

You don't have to be a sportsperson to have a sports massage. SM and Bodywork is very specific and concentrates on releasing, lengthening and repositioning the connective tissues and muscles to align the joints of the body and improve posture.

The practitiones at Integra applies specific pressure in a systematic way to lengthen restricted fascia to allow the body to return to a more natural structural aligned posture. Poor posture and misaligned joints can produce many painful syndromes and lead to increase wearing and premature aging of the body's joints.

Daily stresses, gravity, injuries, repetitive actions all act to pull the body out of alignment. This produces a lack of energy, soreness, stiffness and inefficient movement. Good posture allows an individual to move with greater ease and breathing become effortless. The body becomes softer and looser whilst physical performance is improved.
