Pre-Event Sports Massage - Be Ready

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -1000

Do you know sports massage can help reduce soreness by flushing out the lactic acid that is produced while exercising , lactic acid can build up in muscles and cause soreness over time.

Having a sports massage can also help reduces muscle tension, promotes muscle flexibility and reduce the muscle spasms that occurs with vigorous exercise, therefore decreases your chance of developing a muscle injury.

What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a form of massage that utilizes specific strokes to help athletes obtain maximum performance and physical conditioning by increasing power, endurance, and mobility - both before and after an event or exercise.

Who Can Benefit?

Sports massage is particularly beneficial when an athlete is in training for an event. It's also helpful for anyone who routinely stretches their physical limits through movement.

Swimmers, runners, rugby players, dancers and those who practice strength training or aerobics, have benefited from sports massage.

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.
