•Fuel Efficiency – Deep tissue massage opens the pores in tissue membranes to open allowing removal of waste products such as lactic acid and increasing take up oxygen and nutrients to help muscles recover quicker.
•Workout – Massage stretches tissues not normally reached. Bundles of muscle fibres are stretched lengthwise as well as sideways. Treatments also stretch the sheath or fascia that surrounds the muscle, so releasing any tension or pressure build up.
•Breakdown Obstacles – Scar tissue from previous injuries effects muscle, tendons and ligaments leading to inflexible tissues prone to injury and pain Zen sports therapies work to remove this.

•No Pain lots of Gain – Buildup of tension and waste products in muscles causes pain. Our treatments expel waste, relieve tension and trigger release of feelgood endorphins
•And Relax – Our treatments stimulate mechanoreceptors which sense touch and pressure. This triggers an increase in tissue length and warmth which causes a reflex reaction of relaxation.
•Think Winner – pain and tension puts the body under stress, creating harmful levels of adrenalin and brain chemicals which trigger anxiety and negativity. The reduction in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension delivered by our treatments alters brain chemistry boosting positivity and focus.
