Does your lifestyle or occupation create muscular tension, postural deficiencies, stress and anxiety? For so many people, a sports injury, household accident, work-related repetitive strain problem or just the stress of every day life can cause tension to build up in the body, leading to muscular discomfort.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be an athlete to benefit from a Sports Massage, a unique type of massage that uses trigger point therapy to break down knots in the muscles and increase range of motion.
Whilst it was originally developed to prepare the bodies of athletes to function well during training leading to the optimum performance at the big event, the emphasis is also on prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.Sports Massages can be a little uncomfortable at times but the benefits are undeniable.

I feel totally rejuvenated after a rather non-gentle (as requested) semi-sports massage. The gentleman obviously knew what he was doing and boy, did I feel good the next morning; all my neck and shoulder pains had disappeared. This will be a regular appointment, I think. Mike at The Ark is fantastic at what he does.

I was suffering from acute upper back and neck pain with tingling down one arm. Mike assessed my problem by taking a careful history and then advised what was the most suitable treatment. A one hour session of focussed massage and gentle manipulation was suggested . I was impressed by his understanding approach to my problem and very pleased with the improvement in my symptoms after just one treatment. I'd have no hesitation in returning should the problem recur.
