Sports Massage Therapy
Are you an athlete, or perhaps a weekend warrior, who lives for the thrill of competition?
Are you putting your body and soul under physical and sometimes mental stress in preparation for your big event?
You may want to consider Massage Therapy for your “pre or post-event” preparation and recovery – or, simply, as an addition to your established self-care needs.
Sports Massage is considered to be a collection of the various massage techniques, which are performed on athletes or active individuals for the purpose of activating weak muscles, increasing range of motion, improve flexibility, increase strength, enhance performance, and aid in recovery.
Post-event, Sports Massage is also beneficial, as it helps to promote recovery by helping the body remove blood lactate (a lactic acid that appears in the blood when tissues lack oxygen during anaerobic metabolism).
It can also help by reducing issues related to “delayed onset muscle soreness” (DOMS).
DOMS is not only painful to the athlete, but it can also reduce range of motion. Furthermore, “Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness” can cause a significant decrease in muscle strength – clearly, not something that any athlete – pro or weekend hacker – wants to hear.
Sports massages can also provide wonderful relaxation benefits for athletes.
