Billericay Sports Therapy uses deep tissue, Sports Massage to influence repair, recovery and injury prevention not only in the professional athlete but anybody who puts excess stress on their muscles on a day to day basis. For example, someone who sits at a computer all day and ends up slumping over the keyboard will in time potentially end up with very tight and painful neck and shoulder muscles. Sports massage treatment will help to relieve this problem and at Billericay Sports Therapy we use many different techniques to compliment basic Sports massage techniques, including the unique Be Activated method to help prevent it in the future.
