Deep Tissue Massage in Carshalton
Sports massage is deep tissue massage. Many sports clubs & fitness centres now have on-site facilities for deep tissue massage. Westcroft Leisure Centre Carshalton is no exception. As a therapy deep tissue massage can be beneficial for athletes & non- athletes alike. Deep tissue massage combines the standard techniques of effleurage, petrissage & tapotement with passive & active mobilisations & stretching.
Additional remedial techniques are also often used while giving deep tissue massage. These can be soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques & neuromuscular principles. There are a variety of complementary techniques to deep tissue massage & the therapist will choose those which suit his patient & his purpose in treating them.
There are certain differences between deep tissue massage & general massage. Deep tissue massage, now referred to as sports massage, has developed over the years to help athletes prepare for & recover from their training & competitions. Athletic bodies tend to be fit, toned & hard which has implications for the therapist especially when attending to the deeper structures. The techniques & pressure used in deep tissue massage are geared towards specific treatment rather than just relaxation. Deep tissue massage is extensively used for remedial & recovery purposes.

After suffering from chronic bad back pain for as long as I could remember I was recommended to visit Trudy and her relaxed manner and amazing knowledge of the body really helped me work to correct my posture and home-working setup and I’m seeing great results already
I decided to take up active exercise and found I was suffering from regular aches and pains in my shoulders. After a few quick sessions with Trudy I realised that I actually had tissue damage and needed to change my exercise routine. With new strengthening exercises I am able to complete an exercise class without the recurring pain
I have been running pretty much all my adult life and time has taken its toll on my joints and my recovery time between events has been greatly reduced which has left my training schedule almost non-existent so when I visited Trudy and she was able to help me reduce my recovery time it was like having my youth given back to me. I have now completed 5 more marathons that I thought I wouldn’t have been able to do!
