Sport massage and neuromuscular therapy (NMT)
There are so many ways massage can help your physical state - it can restore you to good posture, correct muscle imbalances and improve both your joint range of movement and tissue flexibility. Sport massage is a deep treatment for soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons etc.) and helps to simply lengthen tight muscles by reducing areas of tension.Neuromuscular therapy is similar, in that it treats soft tissue too, but the focus is on balancing the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. When a muscles contracts, it does so because it's given a signal by the central nervous system. If any particular muscle in your body overworks, it can become tighter and tighter. A muscle like this (i.e. contracting regularly) begins to need less of a signal in order to work. This means you'll tend to use this tighter muscle to perform certain activities, at the exclusion of other (weaker) muscles. By manually releasing these tight muscles, we can help to re-set the nervous system and balance out the signal sent to various muscles giving the weaker muscles a chance to work.
How you benefit:
enhance your muscle suppleness- reduce injury impact
- improve recovery time
- enjoy freedom from pent-up physical stress
- become more physically balanced
