We all know daily life can feel relentless and stressful at times, which is why it’s important to practice self-care on a regular basis. Whether this is running a hot bath, snuggling up to watch a good movie, practising meditation or indulging in a massage, we all need a bit of love.

Massage, what’s the hype?
Here at Kent Sport, we treat people from all walks of life, occupations, ages, and across every scale of physical activity. Focusing on massage specifically, this is a therapy for everyone. No matter how active you are, massage will be of benefit to you, whether you need a massage to reduce your stress, tension or anxiety levels or work out those tight muscles and knots. The stimulation of massage will activate your parasympathetic nervous system which will in turn increase dopamine and serotonin levels which are directly linked to stress. Amazing or what!
Massage also improves circulation by dilating blood vessels making them work more efficiently and enhances blood flow, delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. This encourages the removal of waste products and toxins, helping to relieve muscle tension, reduce soreness and aid faster recovery.
Our qualified staff will work with you on any areas of concern, whether that’s relieving muscle soreness, or aiding injury recovery.
