Will sports massage help me?

It can be used pre and post performance, during training and for rehabilitation but you DO NOT need to be an be an athlete to reap the benefits of a good Sports Massage. Dysfunction of muscles due to overuse, poor posture, repetitive strain, poor feet balance to name just a few all have an impact on our body.
