What is a Sports Massage?
Sports Massage is a combination of massage techniques, working on the soft tissue to release, re-align & re-activate. Our techniques manipulate the soft tissue to help correct any imbalances that are caused by repetitive movements or lack of movement for lengthy periods.
Sports Massage is not just for the professionals or the elite sportsperson, if you love training several times a week or are only able to fit in the odd training session Sports Massage will not only reduce the risk of injury but will help you in performing at you best.
But what if you don’t go to the gym or train regularly at an intense level? Massage can still benefit you. Lifestyle & work can equally cause stress on our bodies & joints. Your job may involve long hours sitting at a desk, being on your feet all day, lifting, carrying, driving…..the list could go on. All this can cause sore, stiff & unbalanced muscles. Stress from our daily lives can unknowingly cause muscle tension so Massage can actually help in aiding relaxation, a chance for our minds to switch off from a busy schedule.

Treatments
If you are new to NbodyworX you will need to be seen for an hour for your first appointment, if returning & are in any doubt feel free to message me.
Booking an appointment is super easy using our online booking system...once booked in you will be sent confirmation & some forms to fill out before your treatment via email. The purpose of this information is to notify myself of any medical conditions, symptoms & conditions that may affect the purpose of having a treatment beforehand to saves time and allow your appointment to run as smoothly as possible.
Always allow just a little longer for your first treatment, this is so we can carry out a full postural assessment & have the time to talk to you about any injuries or possible problems you may have. We do this so we can make sure your treatment is bespoke to you, no two are the same. It ensures that we treat you as an individual & are able to treat the correct areas but also support your recovery with the correct rehabilitation plan.
