As we age it becomes harder to maintain mobility. If we get injured it can take longer to recover, and can make us start to become sedentary. Being sedentary is not a great option for keeping independence as we age, as there are negative bodily (anatomical/physiological) responses to this lack of movement.

Its easy to stop moving.

Physical training helps to keep people independent for longer. For this to be a positive experience, it is advisible to use a professional help, such as Essex Sports Rehab.

The graph below (borrowed from a research paper by Cannataro et al 2022) depicts this nicely. There are several other reasons it is beneficial, which will be discussed tomorrow night.

So if you are interested in hearing more, either tune in to 104.4fm CCR at 7pm on 22.09.23, or drop me a message (07825161082) or email (essexsportsrehab@gmail.com).

Take it easy and get moving :)

Assisted stretching uses specific techniques to increase mobility and flexibility of a muscle or group of muscles. It requires advanced training in the way the body moves and is often done by massage therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors and athletic trainers. Assisted stretching is a gentle technique that can be used not only on generalized clientele, but also on children, adults, the elderly and those with physical disabilities.

Sports massage for groin strain (pulled groin) is focused on the entire thigh, anterior and posterior, accenting the adductors on the medial aspect. A sports massage involves a range of different techniques as transverse massage that helps reduce muscle tightness, relieve pain and increase blood circulation. A sports massage will improve tissue strength, range of movement and enhance recovery. It will also help a person being treated return to sports activities soon. We use sports & deep-tissue massage to treat muscle tightness and relieve any pain, stress and tension.
