Sports Therapy
“Sports Therapy is an aspect of healthcare specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and fitness, regardless of age and ability” (Society of Sports Therapists, 2007).
For some reason, people mistake sports therapy as a therapeutic technique solely designed for sports people. However, it is not a specific technique and can be used on anyone. As the definition above states, sports therapy is ‘concerned’ with injury prevention and rehabilitation. It is not a technique but a comprehensive approach to function/dysfunction. Unfortunately, there are too many people who confuse a sports massage with a pre-sports massage. The later is specifically for sports people and falls under the umbrella of sports therapy.

What David's Clients say...
"David is an incredibly talented masseuse. I have suffered from chronic neck and back pain since my teenage years, and have been to dozens of massage therapists over the years. Even my father, who is himself a masseuse, has never been able to "fix me" quite like David can. David seems to instinctively find the knots of pain and tension, and he knows just the right amount of pressure to apply. Another wonderful talent of David's is his ability to let you relax - many massage therapists have too much of their own persona in the room. Some talk too much, some just make you feel uncomfortable. David is the perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism that allows you to completely relax while he works on your stiff neck or sore back. I recommend him to all my friends and family."
