­¤żŚ cracking setting for some treatment tonight ­¤æī­¤Å╗ ŌśĆ’ĖÅ

After taking a gamble last year and coming in to work as a contractor for Hibs IŌĆÖm delighted to say that IŌĆÖve accepted a full time permanent position as Senior Sports Therapist working with the 1st team/U 20ŌĆÖs. CanŌĆÖt wait to see what this season has in store for us all. ŌÜĮ’ĖÅ ­¤ōā­¤¢ŗ

­¤ī¤­¤żŚ***Pre-season sports massage***­¤żŚ­¤ī¤
ItŌĆÖs pre-season time again and sports massage is already being used as part of this seasons preparations all over the country. With training initially focusing on the regaining of physical fitness it is important to take proper care of the muscles as they slowly adapt to the increased demands placed upon them.

... ­¤æÉ­¤Å╗The benefits of sports massage­¤æÉ­¤Å╗
Sports massage has numerous benefits and is used by both athletes and non-athletes for many different reasons
­¤ī¤Stretching - The use of sports massage will improve flexibility.
­¤ī¤Elasticity- Hard training can cause muscle tissue to tighten up and become inelastic. Sports massage can greatly improve muscle tissue elasticity which then improves co-ordination, reaction times and agility.
­¤ī¤Tissue permeability- Sports massage can increase tissue permeability which means valuable nutrients and minerals are more easily able to pass through to the muscles. Increased tissue permeability also helps the removal of lactic acid and other waste products that produce as a result of exercise.
­¤ī¤Injury prevention- Sports massage greatly reduces the period of rehabilitation after suffering an injury. It also helps prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

Was in pieces from training struggling with some injuries Rory got me back in the game!

Sports therapist and life therapist rolled into one ’┐Į’┐Į best sports massage IŌĆÖve had and always look forward to going!

Rory worked with me at the netball European championships and the weeks leading up to the event. He enabled me to compete as I had torn a ligament in my ankle a month before i was meant to take the court but through his rehab and care I was able to play. Great guy and he definitely knows his stuff!

Rory has worked with me at the European Netball championships, and in training leading up to this event! He did an amazing job, allowing myself and other teams mates to perform to the best of our abilities throughout the championship! Great guy, and a great sports therapist! I'd highly recommend him!

Rory has helped on several occasions with different treatments and they have all been very professional and have worked wonders. Rory has recently helped me with my nutrition pre race. He made me a healthy meal and exercise plan so I went to the races on weight and feeling great! 5 star service!!

Rory has completely rehabilataed my shoulder quicker than the nhs can even give me an appointment, knew exactly what my injury was gave me an exercise plan to get the injury moving and I have full function again so pleased I can throw my kids about again with ease, great service, great guy and professional!!

Id be sitting on the couch with meds if left waiting for the nhs and I have full function again, Thanks Rory

Only had one massage from Rory but I couldn't recommend anyone better! He works specifically to the areas that you feel needs work and tailors the treatment to how you are feeling that day. He is highly professional and after three weeks of full time training I certainly felt the benefit of the massage. May only have had one but it certainly won't be the last! ’┐Į

Only had a handful of massages from Rory but I have to say, he's top notch.

I go to the gym and play football frequently so had a few knots in my back and tight hamstrings constantly and within the first session the knots were virtually gone and my hamstring had loosened off. Friendly and easy to get along with too

Top quality therapist I will defo be continuing to use him. 5/5

Not a better sports therapist in Edinburgh folks, knows his stuff does great treatment and has sky sports news on so you don't miss out on all the latest transfer news!!

No pain no gain as they say. Feel better after u worked your magic hands tonight.

I see Rory for my back problems and I always walk away feeling a little bit better. He's sweet, funny and (almost) makes you forgot about the pain. Most of all, he's very knowledgeable about his work and really takes the time to tailor the session according to how you're feeling that day. If you're lucky, he'll even sing for you! In short, I couldn't recommend him more.

I have previously received treatment from Rory whilst competing at the Netball European Champs. Through feeling the aches and pains of competing, Rory did a fantastic job by keeping not only me but all of the netball squad fitting fit and in the best possible shape/condition we could be in. His physio work and massage therapies were a great help and I would highly recommend him!!

Had my first massage today, loved it. Rory is a really nice guy, very professional and I can notice a difference in my hunched shoulders already. Won't hesitate to use him again and recommend to others ’┐Į

Had a sports massage from Rory before tough mudder this year really made me feel alot better! Knew exactly what was needing manipulated and made such a difference to my posture! He's a great guy and would thoroughly recommend him!

Great guy, very knowledgeable and helpful, will be back again!

Definitely helped my back after years of horse riding! Thank you!!!

By far the best around! I've been seen by numerous physio's and had loads of sports massages for a bad back and hips but Rory is fantastic at his job. Takes the time to really understand your injuries or what's bothering you that day. He's professional, knowledgeable, kind and funny. Always makes sure your alright throughout. Only had a few session and I even once he's gone he's still available to chat if you've any concerns and happy to answer any question I ask. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Rory.

Brilliant! My legs feel brand new after months of feeling tired due to exercise. Couldn't recommend enough. Thanks again

Been training a lot recently and came to Rory for a sport massage really done me the world off good. Great prices and couldn't recommend a better sports therapist.
