Sports Therapy & Clinical Massage
Andy Comley and Melanie Howlett start every session with a proper assessment, not a generic massage, so the techniques used, from deep tissue to myofascial release, actually match what your body needs. Read on to see what's involved, and how to choose between them.
Sports therapy focuses on preventing injury and rehabilitating you back to full fitness, whatever your age or activity level. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit, it’s equally suited to everyday strain, like tight shoulders after long hours at a desk. Treatment starts with a full consultation and postural assessment, so the combination of techniques used is built around what’s actually going on for you rather than a generic massage, that might mean deep tissue work one week and more myofascial release the next, as things improve.
