Sanctuary

Holistic & Sports Massage Clinic 

  Paul Hevey is the resident Sports/Remedial Massage Therapist at Donore Harriers Athletic Club. Working from his clinic, Sanctuary - Holistic & Sports Massage Clinic, which has been open to customers since November 2006, Paul has successfully treated athletes from Donore Harriers, as well as athletes from other sporting disciplines, for sports/overuse injuries.

 Paul’s qualifications include a National Qualification in Sports Massage & Remedial Therapy, ITEC Diplomas in Body Massage and Anatomy & Physiology, and qualifications in Diet & Nutrition, Science and Coaching.

 Treating sports injuries is about achieving the very delicate balance between the client’s needs/requests and implementing the treatment necessary to repair or prevent an injury. Professional athletes need to maintain their fitness and focus to ensure regular participation in competitions; injury is their main rival in this regard. As a Sports/Remedial Massage Therapist it is Paul’s job to ensure that the athlete achieves the goals they have set out for themselves. This is accomplished through the use of a number of massage techniques: 

  • Soft Tissue Release involves manipulation of individual muscles before carrying out a series of stretches that target isolated areas of soft tissue

 

  • Mechanotherapy, a body mobilisation technique, uses oscillating movements of the joints through a known range of motion to relax muscles and allow muscle fibres realign themselves correctly

 

  • Post Isometric Relaxation involves a series of stretching techniques that will achieve previously unattainable stretches through a series of isolated muscle contractions, deep breathing and relaxation procedures; while reducing the risk of injury and improving posture

 

  • Holistic Massage nurtures and soothes an athlete’s body, mind & spirit and is invaluable in relieving tension, alleviating fatigue and instilling deep relaxation

 

Paul’s success in treating athletes at Sanctuary - Holistic & Sports Massage Clinic has led him to expand his opening times and develop the clinic from a part-time project to a full-time venture; a list of the Clinic opening times is shown below.
