Mobile Sports Massage In The Northallerton Area

No, many clients have regular massage even though they are injury free.

Two main reasons for this (according to my clients)

1. It helps with all my other training

2. I just feel so relaxed, I need this.

Massage can help with back pain and chronic muscular pain in other areas too.

There is no guarantee. Whether it helps depends on what is causing the pain, how long it has been going on, and your own history. It is suitable for most people, not just athletes. A few conditions rule it out, so check with me first if you are unsure.

In general if it's a muscular issue that is not part of a diagnosed condition then massage may help.

If it is due to a diagnosed condition then that condition may be an absolute contra-indication to manage in which case definitely no massage allowed.

Home visits are at your home within about 30 miles of Northallerton. I bring a portable table. Contact me to arrange a time.

Not at all. It can be beneficial for most people - athletic or not.

Sports massage does not just have to be for those suffering with muscular pain. It can be used as part of an ongoing training regime or just for the benefits and relaxation.

Unfortunately not.

Home visits are at your home within about 30 miles of Northallerton. I bring a portable table. Contact me to arrange a time.

Whilst in some cases I may suggest a few more sessions - that is optional. It is entirely up to you how often you want to book.

Some people feel good after one session and stop.

Clients are allowed free will. Some will only re-book when they have an injury/discomfort, whilst others will come for regular massage before/after physical events.

Quite a few people make it a regular part of their routine - whether that is for training, to hold off aches and pains ...or just because they like the relaxed feeling afterwards.

You do not have to be naked.

For example if you want a shorter duration massage, just for the legs, then there is no need to take your top off.

When it comes to the body areas being massaged there is more benefit in not having clothing on as not only does the oil/creme/lotion help me as the therapist, it adds to the benefit for you as a client.

Clothing can add friction and ruck up. However I can only suggest for example you remove your trousers - then drape a towel(s) accordingly - you can still choose not to remove items - you have free will.
