The AcheAngel® Massage Therapist will assess the type of treatment needed and use advanced techniques to relax and rehabilitate the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues. Techniques include Deep Tissue Massage, Effleurage, Petrissage, Squeezing and Stretching, Frictioning and Trigger Point Therapy.
The aim of Sports Massage is to improve the performance of the body, prevent injury during exercise and assist recovery from exercise. Remedial or Injury Massage Therapy techniques are used in a programme to rehabilitate and re-educate connective tissues following an injury or postural imbalance. Deep tissue or Sports Massage is applied to specific areas that have become tight and painful. Techniques enhance recovery by relaxing and stretching fascia and soft tissue, encouraging blood flow and strengthening muscles fibres over a period of time. Treatment may cause some soreness during or just after the treatment, but the overall result is to relax and reduce pain.
​
WHY MASSAGE IS IMPORTANT:
Muscle problems can develop from exercising or overstretching tight muscles, after intensive training, from over-training, through poor posture or, following an injury. A Sports; Remedial; or Injury Massage Therapy from Acheangel® will improve tone, elasticity and mobility to these deeply contracted areas. Techniques release the chronic patterns of tension in the body, break down scar tissue and release toxin build up, thus enabling muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients more effectively to boost function, repair and performance. Therapeutic massage focuses on the relaxation of muscle groups within the body to release tension and create as sense of well-being for health of mind and body.
