SRM Sports Rehabilitation & Massage

General information

As I am sure you know, Sports Massage has been shown to have beneficial effects in preparing for sport, assisting in recovery as well as enhancing sports performance itself. Sports Massage can also be used to help with day-to-day stress and muscle tension and so I would also welcome clients who are not from a sporting background.

Medical Acupuncture can aid in the treatment of a range of problems:
- Acute or Chronic injuries
- Headaches
- Neck and back pain
- Muscle spasm
- Muscle strains
- Tennis or Golfer’s elbow

Common medical conditions that Electro-Medical Acupuncture has been used to treat:

- Relief of acute and chronic pain
- Musculoskeletal pain
