Sports and Remedial Massage in Harrogate and Shipley
Harrogate Sports Massage has helped hundreds of people manage or rid the pain and discomfort they have experienced for years. Many of these people had never experienced total relief from previous treatments or care, and were overwhelmed by the improvements they experienced immediately after their first appointment, and within five appointments many were pain free.
Harrogate Sports Massage achieves this by making sure the appropriate soft tissue technique is used for you. We take time to understand how you use your body, your previous injuries, and assess your posture and the activities which make your symptoms better and worse. This enables us to design a treatment plan incorporating the most appropriate soft tissue techniques to get you the required results.
Soft tissue therapy isn't always the most appropriate treatment for every patient, and because we take the time to understand your symptoms we are able to advise whether a more appropriate form of therapy or referral is necessary. If you are not sure if soft tissue therapy is appropriate for you, then please just give us a call and we are more than happy to discuss what we can and can't help with.
Just recently Harrogate Sports Massage has been able to help people with plantar fasciitis, whiplash, shin splints, lower back pain, sacro iliac pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, sciatic pain, general muscle tension and aid people to improve their posture to rid discomfort and prevent future problems.
Many people experience postural discomfort due to dysfunctioning muscles, which can arise from stress at work and unbalanced muscle structures. This tends to cause neck, shoulder and back pain, and the soft tissue therapy provided relieves these symptoms and gets you functioning properly again.
