Appointments are welcome from occasional athletes to people wishing to maintain fitness to professional full time athletes, across a range of sports.
Whether just keeping fit, training or competing in your first event, to preparing for a national or international event as a fully qualified Sports Massage Therapist I offer a hands-on approach to minor soft tissue injury, muscular dysfunction and myofascial trigger points.

Through the use of appropriate techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and assisted stretching techniques the aim is to maintain a healthy body as much as return it back to full fitness.

What is Sports Massage

Exercise and training can cause damage to the muscles. Through compression and stretching, massage helps the body's natural healing process by encouraging the flow of blood to the affected areas and the removal of the waste products from exercise and the re-alignment of torn fibres.

Sports Massage increases flexibility and range of movement. This results in a faster healing process and has the benefit of breaking down scar tissue, which can otherwise lead to reduced tissue mobility. With the use of hands-on techniques, the treatment assists injury through early detection of muscle dysfunction. It also promotes faster recovery after training and competition at both physical and psychological levels.

Sports Massage offers distinct advantages for pre and post event, and rehabilitation treatments and is increasingly regarded as playing an essential role in enhancing performance, preventing injury and aiding in recovery.

Current clients include GAA, soccer and rugby players, track and field athletes, cyclists, tri-athletes and professional sports people.
