Whether you are preparing for a sports event, recovering from a sports event or recovering from an injury, sports massage can aid in your recovery
BENEFITS OF SPORTS MASSAGE
Heavily exercised muscles may also lose their capacity to relax, causing chronically tight (hypertonic) muscles, and loss of flexibility.
Lack of flexibility is often linked to muscle soreness, and predisposes you to injuries, especially muscle pulls and tears.
Blood flow through tight muscles is poor (ischemia), which also causes pain.
Sports massage was designed for athletes, but is useful for anyone with chronic pain, injury or range-of-motion issues.
Sports massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons and relief of chronic pain.
Combining sports massage with stretching exercises can increase range of motion.
Unlike Swedish massage, sports massage usually focuses on a specific area.
Sports massage uses a combination of Swedish Massage, Cross Fibre Massage (Frictions), Trigger-Point Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage techniques
