Precision Massage- About Precision Massage
So firstly what is Precision Massage?
Founded in June 2010 by myself upon graduation from Cardiff
Metropolitan University we are Sports Massage and Injury Rehabilitation
specialists based between Physio Plus, Eastbourne and Southdown’s physiotherapy
clinic in Seaford, East Sussex. We also offer home visits upon request to suit clients if they would
prefer massage or injury rehabilitation in the comfort of their own home and
also if they are unable to leave the house due to their injury!
Why did I choose
this industry?
As a child I spent a lot of time around physiotherapists due
to the amount of football I was playing and injuries I picked up! Even if the
physiotherapist weren’t treating me I always took an interest in what they were
doing and found the human body and the anatomy and physiology side of things
fascinating. It was when I got a bad ankle injury and I was having
physiotherapy treatment on a regular basis that I realised this was something I
wanted to get into. After spending a couple of months with Brighton and Hove
Albion FC Medical team I was excited about the avenues I could exploit within
the industry.
What were the
reasons for starting Precision massage?
Upon graduating from Cardiff University, I wanted to go
straight into Sport therapy and massage work. However I found that there
weren’t a lot of jobs around. I applied for a few jobs and fortunately now, was
unsuccessful. At the time I was a bit down and negative about things and I was
struggling to see what I could go and do next. This inspired me to create the
business so I could build something of my own rather than going to work for
somebody and thankfully it was a great decision which has paid off.
Where do I see the
business in 5 years’ time?
I’d like to expand the business gradually over the next 5
years to further locations around the east Sussex area. I’d also like to
improve the range of services we provide rather than just the sports therapy
and massage side of things, who knows how long it may be before we see
Chiropractor’s, nutritionist’s and physiotherapists working under the precision
massage brand!
What are the
benefits of sports massage and injury rehabilitation provided by Precision
Massage?
Sports Massage can be defined as ‘the manipulation of soft
tissue to release tension, reduce pain, restore range of movement and promote
good condition. It’s a form of physical therapy used to help recover from and
prevent injury. Massage can reduce postural problems, muscular tension, aches,
pains, and cramp within the body. It also clears the muscle cells of waste
products from exercise, increasing recovery and improving performance. This is
why it can be so beneficial for a large quantity of individuals ranging from
elderly, to individuals with desk based roles, sport professionals and many
more!
Aims of Sport Massage and our aim at Precision Massage are to:
· Improve circulation
·
Assist in the removal of metabolic waste
·
Help prevent Injury
·
Increase range of movement
·
Improve relaxation and Stress relief
·
Relieve general aches & Pains
·
Remodel scar tissue when required
·
Assist in mental preparation and recovery after
sporting participation
As you can see there are various psychological and physical benefits from this type of treatment. People sometimes say to me “I thought sport massage was just for sporty people?” this couldn’t be more untrue in fact most people I see don’t participate in a sport. If you feel you would benefit from sport massage or you have a re-occurring injury which you no longer want then we could be of help to you!
