Carmine Cientanni Sports Massage Therapist
Sports massage therapy is growing rapidly as a method of rehabilitation for injured or non-injured individuals. It is a way to repair damaged muscles and relax stressed areas so that the physiology is returned to a fully functional state. By using sports massage to manually push waste products such as lactic acid out of the body, clients are left feeling fresh and revitalised. This effect also encourages more efficient and stronger movement patterns from the muscles. Contact Carmine by email: carmine.cientanni@ntlworld.com or tel: 07843 413686
