Sports Injuries Treatments
Treatment of sports injuries benefits individuals at all levels of sport and physical activity. It aims to optimise your body’s recovery time to allow you to participate in sport. Every sport has different demands on the body and when treating sports injuries it is important to condition the body to cope with these demands. This means that every treatment must be adapted to the individual and what they wish to achieve. Treatment of sports injuries helps to increase your range of motion and flexibility as well as increasing strength in the injured area.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a relaxing treatment based on the principal that reflex points on the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body.
