Gavin can provide expert Sports Massage Therapy to alleviate a high array of muscular issues and aid performance/recovery with pre/post event massage. Whether you are an elite athlete or office worker, this form of manual therapy is very effective at reducing muscular tension, chronic pain, tightness and muscular imbalance. Any highly repetitive movement has the potential to create enormous tightness and create havoc with the body. For example, long distance runners frequently have high amounts of tension in their calves, IT bands, hamstrings and often have knee pain. Likewise office workers often have neck/upper back pain due to incorrect posture initiated tension and manual labourers often have shoulder pain for consistently using one side or doing the same imbalanced movement pattern repeatedly.

If your sport or job has unavoidable repetition then a series of sports massage treatments maybe your best and most viable solution to reduce pain and prevent injury. Gavin is highly knowledgable in anatomy, movement patterns and exercise prescription. Every treatment includes exercises that can be used post treatment to continue to reduce tension and potentially solve your individual muscular disturbances through addressing any deficiencies and imbalances. The major benefits of sports massage include improvements in range of motion, reductions in perceived tightness, reductions in perceived recovery times and improved nervous system relaxation. For long term solutions it is highly recommended that clients are consistent and committed to the prescribed exercise solutions. 

Contact Gavin to discuss if your issues of concern would be improved by sports massage and/or injury rehabilitation strengthening exercises.
