To perform at their best, athletes need the best care ‘behind the scenes.’ The VIS Soft Tissue Therapy team is the secret weapon that many VIS athletes rely on to keep them feeling fresh, relaxed and ready to perform.
About
The Soft Tissue Therapy team are highly skilled at utilising massage, and some manual therapy, in an individualised approach to help each athlete recover quickly from intense training or competition, and be ready to go again and again.
How Soft Tissue Therapy helps our athletes
Massage is a key tool in an elite athlete’s arsenal.
Massage has the potential to help:
- Improve recovery
- Reduce muscle tension
- Assist mobility around specific joints, or in general movement patterns
- Aid relaxation and benefit mood
