Sports massage therapy - Improve both physical & mental wellbeing

Over the past few years the fact that mental and physical wellbeing are closely linked has become much more widely accepted. It has been found that those with poor mental health are quite likely to develop physical problems and vice versa.

Rather than medication, there is a growing tendency to improve mental wellbeing with lifestyle changes and increased physical activity which are both proven to improve energy levels and overall mood.

Ingrid is a sports massage therapist based in Worthing with over 20 years experience as a mental health worker. She is well aware of the importance of physical wellbeing with relation to good mental health. During her career as a social worker involved with mental health, she regularly made use of massage herself to maintain her own physical welfare. Ingrid told us that she now specialises in soft tissue massage for sports related activities and those wishing to maintain good working muscle health and for treatment in connection with injury rehabilitation.

Whilst most of Ingrid’s clients tend to be engaged in some form of sporting activity, anyone can benefit from the relaxation provided by soft tissue massage which can improve muscle performance as well as helping to relieve stress. Ingrid can arrange home visits where appropriate and age is no barrier to enjoying the benefits of soft tissue massage. Her most senior patient, who recently decided to address his back problems, is in his late 90s.

Originally from Berlin in Germany, when she’s not working, Ingrid enjoys yoga, kickboxing, running and swimming and has two children age 9 and 13.
