It uses a variety of specific techniques and is very effective when focusing on particular problem areas. An assisted passive stretching technique that can greatly increase flexibility called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (known as PNF) may also be used. Sports massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic events to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. Sports massage can also help reduce limitations in movement brought on from past injuries that can hinder optimal physical performance. Deep Tissue Massage: Especially focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue and aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia. Polarity Energy Balancing: This therapy uses the fact that underlying the muscular and skeletal systems in the body there is also a pattern of energy, which forms a matrix or blueprint that the body uses while maintaining as well as healing itself. This energy has been given various names such as Prana or Chi depending on the culture describing it and it connects through energy centres called chakras. This energy system is optimised by using specific techniques including pressure on reflex points, slow rhythmic movements and rocking techniques. Acupressure/Reflexology: This involves massaging and stimulating specific reflex points mainly on the hands and feet, which correspond to various organs and systems of the body as well using other specific energy balancing points on the body. This technique stimulates the bodys own healing and balancing processes. Breathing Techniques: Your breathing patterns are observed during this treatment, as they can be a reflection of underlying stress/tension in certain areas. You will be coached in regard to the correct breathing patterns to ensure you achieve the optimum results from this session.
