Sports Massage
In order to alleviate the stress and
tension that build up in the body’s
soft tissues during physical activity,
sports massage therapy has become
popular. Minor injuries and lesions, due
to overexertion and or overuse, are
quickly and effectively broken down by
sports massage. It prevents the injuries
that get in the way of performance and
achievement whether the person is a
dancer, sports enthusiast, athlete,
hobbyist or just enjoying the fun of it
all. Anyone can benefit from this
massage whether people in demanding jobs
or under occupational, emotional and
postural stress that may produce many
similar characteristics as sports
injuries.
Sports massage tends to be deeper and
more intense. It is based on the various
elements of Swedish massage and often
incorporates a combination of other
techniques involving stretching,
compression, friction, toning, and trigger
point response techniques similar to
Acupressure and Shiatsu. The skilled
registered massage therapist brings together
this blend of techniques, knowledge and
advice during treatment, to work effectively
with the client to bring about optimum
performance and to provide injury-free
training and minimize post event injuries.
Benefits:
- The regular treatment program can help
the athlete maintain or improve range of
motion and muscle flexibility
- Pre or Post –event massage therapy
is tailored for distinct purposes.
Pre-event is used to enhance the warm-up
by aiding in circulation and reducing
excess muscle and mental tension before
competition. Pre-event therapy is
tailored to the needs of the athlete or
performer to relax or stimulate as
appropriate.
Post- event massage reduces muscle
tension and spasms that come about due to
the metabolic buildup that strenuous
exercise causes. The various techniques
specific to sports massage aid in the body’s
recovery and prevent injury.
