Sports massage is sometimes known as Soft Tissue Therapy and can help both athletes and non-athletes alike. If you have any discomfort or tension in your muscles or have a soft tissue injury (such as a muscular sprain or strain) sports massage will be able to help. These are some of the many benefits that sports massage can have:

• Reduces tension in muscles
• Improves muscle quality
• Prevents injury
• Speeds up recovery after injury
• Improves circulation of the blood which helps deliver oxygen to the muscles and remove waste products.
• Improves flexibility
• Reduces scar tissue
• Promotes emotional well being
• Reduces pain to aching muscles
• Improves lymphatic drainage

Ridgeway Fitness and Health particularly encourages regular massage aimed at the prevention of injuries, and deep tissue massage as a form of stress reduction with the aim of improving both emotional and physical well being at work and at home.
