Sports massage is a specific type of massage aimed at improving sports performance, muscle regeneration and injury prevention, especially in athletes. In this technique, stronger pressures and slow movements are used to relax tight muscle fibers and blood circulation to deeper tissue. Sports massage may also include passive muscle stretching to help increase muscle flexibility and suppleness. Regular sports massage can help identify signs of muscle overuse or potential injury, allowing for early intervention.

The massage therapist may also work on specific areas that are injured or painful in order to release tension and improve healing. This massage technique is often used in professional sports, but it can also be beneficial for recreational athletes or people who engage in an active lifestyle.

It is important that sports massage is performed by a qualified massage therapist who has knowledge of anatomy and sports movement patterns to maximise its effect and minimise the risk of injury.

Lymphatic massage is a type of manual therapy that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system and accelerating the flow of lymph in the body. The lymphatic system is part of the body's defence and transport system and helps to remove waste, toxins and excess fluid from the tissues. This massage has a number of benefits including reducing swelling, boosting the immune system, removing toxic substances from the body and improving overall circulation.

The massage therapist focuses on the correct direction of lymphatic flow to ensure that the lymph flows in the right direction and does not create blockages. Once the massage is complete, the lymph enters the larger lymphatic vessels and travels on to the lymph nodes where it is filtered and cleansed. After the massage, it is recommended to drink plenty of water to encourage the drainage of waste products from the body.

This massage should always be given by a qualified masseur or therapist to provide expert care and tailor the massage to your individual needs.
