Sports Massage Therapy/Remedial Massage
Sports Massage Therapy will benefit everyone regardless of age and ability, but has a focus on athletes and active people, concentrating on the stress they may place on their bodies. Peer is trained in applying techniques to help athletes avoid injuries, to aid recovery following an event, as well as being part of pre-event training programme to improve overall event performance.
Remedial Massage is a complementary therapy that aims to treat muscles that are damaged, knotted, tense or immobile. It is useful for many problems that affect the muscles, tendons or bones and can address a number of health problems. This is great for any age or ability. The goal is to make you feel better and move better.
This will give us an idea of how you move. It will tell us, and show us, how the old injuries,surgery or bad habits are affecting the way you run or walk. Armed with this knowledge we will then look at what needs to be improved.
Old
injuries or bad habits can lead to less efficient ways of moving. Repeating poor movement patterns over months or years can have a big impact on muscles, tendons and joints, and possibly lead to further injury.
An insufficient running or walking style is likely to have an effect on your speed, pace and comfort.
After the first session you will have an idea of what can be improved so that you move better. Further coaching sessions will be suggested so we can improve the way you move.
Injury
Rehabilitation Sessions
If you suffer from old injuries or pains, that prevent you from doing sport or activities you enjoy, then this session could help you. We look at your movement and find a way to change your movement pattern. Certain techniques are used to stimulate the nervous system and create new neuro-pathways to improve and correct movement patterns. These new patterns will be repeated, with low weight or resistance, until improvement is achieved.
Acupuncture needles are used to alleviate your trigger points. When dry needling is applied to your muscles and tissues, it can decrease tightness, increase blood flow and reduce local and referred pain. Peer uses acupuncture needles that don't contain any kind of medication. This is why the technique is called “dry needling".
