Sports Massage
Sports massage is used to help athletes prepare or recover from sports activity. It helps to relieve swollen or sore muscles, increase energy, reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, and prevent further injury. This type of massage may include a wide range of deeply integrated massage strokes. The therapist may use their fingers, thumbs, hands, fists and elbows to achieve moderate to deep pressure for the client. It is a great massage for those with common sports injuries such as strains or muscle soreness or stiffness. Not only is it good for those who are suffering from sports-related pain, but it is also good for those who suffer from everyday stress. The typical sports massage is beneficial for pre-event, post-event, during a sports event or training or for recovery long after the sporting activities or events.
Pre-event massage may include more rhythmic and vigorous massage techniques. This type of massage is preparing the client for physical activity. Pre-event massage helps to improve flexibility, reduce tension and risk of injury and improve performance level.
Post-event massage may include slow and relaxing massage techniques to help enhance recovery after a sporting event. Pre-event massage helps to improve the circulation of blood and oxygen in the muscles in the body to help reduce pain and a prolonged onset of muscle soreness.
Our therapists have extensive training on how to treat those who are physically active in sports or other activities that cause any kind of muscle tightness or soreness. Sports massage can help prevent any injuries to occur and help maintain the health, tissue repair and wellbeing of the individual.
A sports massage can help to treat chronic pain and constant tension. This type of massage can be very beneficial in general, but sports massage is designed to enhance athletes’ or training professionals’ performances, support recovery, and general relaxation for those who have high-intensity workouts or are physically active.
