SPORTS MASSAGE
I started my training in August 2014 with Sports Therapy UK at the University of Bedfordshire and qualified with a Level 4 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy, accredited with VTCT. I am also certified in Kinesiology Taping accredited with John Gibbons at the University of Oxford.
I opened Jim Radcliffe Sports Massage in December 2016 and the clinic has gone from strength to strength treating around 30-40 clients per week. I treat a number of common complaints ranging from general aches and pains to work/sports related injuries.
WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
- Sports Massage is a specific treatment to manipulate the soft tissues of the body........skin, fascia, muscle, tendons and ligaments. Various techniques can be used within the treatment to help you with any issues that have. After an initial assessment we will decide on the best treatment plan for you which may include massage, stretching techniques, joint mobilisation, and trigger point therapy. I may also give you an exercise plan to enhance the effects of the treatment at home.
Is Sports Massage only for Athletes?
- Absolutely not! Sports Massage can be very effective at treating a great number of issues that are not specific to sporting activities.
