Benefits of sports massage
Regular sports massage can improve your range of movement around a joint by relieving tension and stretching the muscle. Sports massage can also help to prevent injuries as well as treat new or old injuries. Previous injury to a muscle, tendon or ligament can cause scar tissue to form. Sports massage can help break down this scar tissue improving mobility and pain. Sports massage can help to remove the waste products that build up within a muscle during exercise such as lactic acid; this helps them to recover at a faster rate by promoting the uptake of oxygen and nutrients. Treatments can also help to alleviate repetitive strain injury caused by the overuse and repeated action of one part of the body, surprisingly common, in our careers and daily routines. Sports massage helps to increase awareness of the body, helping to improve performance and reduce the likelihood of further injury. Treatment can be designed to stimulate the muscles, for example before an event. Sports massage also creates a sense of wellbeing, relaxing not only your body but also your mind, reducing anxiety and stress.
