Clinical or sports massage is a way of describing massage that is carried out to relieve pain, tension and stiffness rather than purely for relaxation. This forms the majority of Sarah’s practice.
Often, it is targeted deep tissue treatment incorporating a range of techniques, including stretching, neuromuscular (trigger point therapy) and myofascial release to address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
Although most people associate the term ‘sports’ massage with this type of therapy, I also use the term ‘clinical’, as many people are affected by muscular problems without participating in any kind of sport. Repetitive movements that are part of everyday life, such as driving, using a PC or fulfilling caring responsibilities can all lead to muscular problems.
Illness and health problems can also be a source of pain, and Sarah is fully qualified and experienced in working gently and sensitively with clients who have a diagnosis of ME, Fibromyalgia, migraines, TMJ, Lupus and other autoimmune conditions, cancer and those who need palliative care.
In a single session, following a detailed consultation covering how long the problem has existed for, what causes it and home care advice, pain can usually be reduced or sometimes alleviated completely, and range of motion increased, while tissue swelling and inflammation can be reduced and function improved.
Please note that some chronic conditions will take longer to address. The vast majority of musculo-skeletal problems can be addressed in somewhere between one and six sessions.
