Sports Massage
Sports massage is the manipulation of soft tissue for the prevention of injuries, whilst maintaining good physical condition and health. It achieves this through normalizing muscle tone, promoting relaxation, stimulating circulation and producing a therapeutically good effect on all of the body’s systems. It helps alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.
When minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion or overuse, massage can help quickly and effectively. Sports massage can be aimed to help heal strained muscles and allow healthy ones to reach peak performance and maintain it while minimizing the risk of injury.
Indian Head Massage
Massaging the head can do much to relieve the stress and tension that fill our day to day lives. The technique involves controlled caresses such as the spider walk, root pull, and comb, and focuses mainly on the face and scalp. It can also continue down the upper back, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
The massage has a strong effect on the three higher chakras of the seven - mind, body and spirit. Chakra (wheel) is the energy vortex that we need to remain striving. As the massage works on the shoulders and neck, the relief of tension is felt almost instantaneously.
