Tia Butler, Massage therapist

Just as important as preventing injury is looking after the aches and pains we already have so they don’t become chronic and debilitating.
Work and competitive sport are part of our everyday experiences. Working physically hard, undertaking repetitive work, or simply having fun or taking part in local cycling, swimming or triathlon events for charity often results in stresses, strain and injuries.
Therapeutic massage is a natural way of looking after ourselves and maintaining an active lifestyle, it also improves circulation, reduces muscle tightness and breaks down adhesions and the build up of scar tissue. All of these can affect performance as well as improve ones general sense of well-being.
It makes sense to avoid injury by having regular massage while training and for recovery purposes.
This will help to optimise your performance and achieve your goals in whatever sport and fitness level you aspire to.
