Professional, affordable Soft Tissue Massage Therapy in Amersham for rehabilitating all kinds of muscle and other soft tissue pains, strains and injuries.
What is soft tissue therapy?
Soft Tissue Therapy uses regular and advanced massage techniques to target and relieve tension in soft tissue — your muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia (the connective band surrounding the muscle).
Soft tissue tension and soreness arises from overworking the muscle. This can come about from high-energy sports and aerobic activities right through to everyday actions like prolonged sitting at work, gardening, lifting and walking.
Benefits of soft tissue massage
Alongside reducing pain and soreness, our soft tissue massage treatment delivers a wide range of benefits:
- Increased movement and flexibility
- Improved muscle function and blood flow, boosting removal of metabolites by the lymph system
- Increased muscle elasticity, preventing further damage occurring
- Reduction in scar tissue — which stops muscles from working properly and causes pain
- Improved relaxation and stress relief
Especially beneficial for
- Reducing muscle tension and soreness after training and event competitions
- Quicker recovery between training sessions
- Healing faster from injuries
- Reducing risk of further damage to vital muscles and other soft tissues
What the treatment involves
Unlike a typical salon massage, our soft tissue treatment combines long kneading Swedish Massage strokes with specialist stretching and neuromuscular techniques. The applied pressure helps break down and realign tangled and torn muscle fibres, supporting and speeding up the healing process. Each massage is tailored to treat your precise trigger points (muscle adhesions or 'knots') and any radial pain you experience.
After three weeks of training, Sean felt a sharp pain in his middle left calf. Following rest he tried again, and to his surprise pulled the same muscle. A week later he visited Amersham Sports Massage for initial treatment. This instantly relieved the pain and set the right course for proper recovery. Two further sessions later, Sean made a full recovery — the muscle injury had been manipulated and re-modelled correctly. — Case study, Policeman, 50, Chesham
