What Are the Common causes of Sports Injuries?
Injuries are commonly experienced when an individual has overtrained, fails to sufficiently warm up, receives trauma, or has muscular imbalances, poor flexibility, mineral deficiencies, inadequate endurance, or simply does too much too soon.
Insufficient muscle strength and poor muscle tone may also lead to injury or a muscle tear.
How Can Sports Massage help in Rehabilitation?
Sports massage can accelerate the healing process, increase range of motion, reduce adhesions, and reduce swelling, bruising, and pain.
Areas of stress in other muscles, created through compensating for an injury, can be eased with a regular sports massage regimen.
Sports massage can partially compensate for lack of exercise during inactivity while recovering from injury.
