Sports Massage in Kings Heath, Birmingham

Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage which is stronger than Therapeutic or Aromatherapy and used to manipulate, rehabilitate and manage the soft tissue throughout the body. It works to lengthen the muscle and tendon fibres thus releasing tension on joints, increasing the joint range of motion, and correcting any imbalances created by lifestyles, sports and occupations.

The techniques used will vary within each session of sports massage depending on the condition of the muscles & joints presented at the time. It is not possible to determine how many sessions will be needed as each individual heals and recovers within their own timescales and in their own way. Bodies are very much a work-in-progress and not robots!

Some of the methods used in treatments are:

  • Deep Tissue massage (Lengthens muscle fibres)
  • Lymph Drainage (reduces swelling)
  • Frictions (removes scar tissue)
  • Soft Tissue release (lengthens & realigns damaged muscle tissue/tendon fibres)
  • Neuro Muscular technique (reduces tension using pressure to trigger points)
  • Muscle Energy technique (stretches muscle tissue)

Bobby also practices CORE Bodywork which was developed by an American therapist, Noah Korrasch. CORE is an acronym of Coax, Order, Restore, Ease and it works by manipulating areas of connective tissue through the body that are “stuck”. This method is very successful in releasing tension through the low back, hips, ribs, shoulders and neck & jaw, restoring balance through the body’s “hinges”.

Bobby completed a BTEC Diploma in Sports Therapy in 1999 and went on to qualify at the London School of Sports Massage in 2003. These qualifications, together with his membership of the Institute of Sports and Remedial Massage (ISRM), allow him to treat all sportsmen and women, professional or amateur, and people with injuries and conditions caused by occupational and day-to-day life.

A keen sportsman himself, Bobby is able to treat a wide range of muscle and skeletal injuries. Since 2003 he has established  successful practices in both Birmingham and  Bury (North Manchester) and regularly attends additional courses to update and enhance his skills.
