1. Sports Massage – During a sports massage the musculoskeletal system (muscles, tendons, and ligaments) is manipulated using hands-on techniques in order to improve its efficiency. Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body. All of this helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury. Those who are prone to overuse injuries often benefit from sports massage in between training sessions, as the muscles are allowed to relax and recover fully before the next session. In addition to the physical benefits, sports massage can help an athlete to mentally prepare for their activity or competition.
   
   
2. Deep Tissue Massage – this massage technique focuses on specific areas of complaint, using slower, firmer strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Great for pain relief and enhancing range of movement.
   
   
3. Trigger Point Massage – massage focuses on areas of tight bands of muscle fibres or nodules that can form in muscles anywhere in the body. They frequently develop because of overtraining, injury or poor posture.

Before the first massage the therapist will discuss with you your medical history to identify any trouble areas and to determine what you wish to get out of the massage, whether it be to treat and soothe a specific sore spot or purely to relax and unwind.
