Sports Massage – Northcote Road
Sports massage tends to be a stronger more intense massage, combining a variety of techniques including stretching, friction and trigger point release.
The main purpose of sports massage is to help alleviate stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues, this can be sports related or from simple day to day activities.
When an injury occurs the body often reacts by tensing the soft tissues surrounding the area, massage can work quickly and effectively to reduce this. It can also be helpful in preventing ‘niggling’ injuries which can hamper performance.
Antonia Curling
Antonia offers Relaxation, Pregnancy and Sports Massage. Antonia’s journey into bodywork starting in 2003 with her training with ITEC in Swedish Massage. She subsequently went on to train in Deep Tissue, Pregnancy and Hot Stone Massage. On returning to the UK from Egypt in 2010 she completed a course in Advanced Clinic Massage Techniques which has helped her understand injuries and provide clients with an individually tailored treatment plan, targeting specific problems, as well as holistic solutions for mind, body and spirit.
In 2014 she first travelled to America to continue her education in Myofascial Release adding to her 15 years of experience. She is now trained in Myofascial Release (John F Barnes method). This has been her driving force for the past 4 years, believing that working on the fascia (connective tissue) is the missing link for easing long term physical, emotional and habitual trauma.
