Sports massage therapy is an excellent tool for athletes of all kinds, from elite athletes to weekend warriors and anything in between. The sports massage techniques are specific to the sport the athlete competes in, or the activities the individual has been doing, concentrating on sections of the body that are suffering from over use and that are stressed from repetitive and in many case aggressive sporting movements. Sports massage focuses on all soft tissues that are used in physical activity, including muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments. The massage corrects any imbalances or issues that have occurred through strenuous and repetitive activity, injury or even sustained periods of inactivity.
But you donβt have to play sport to get a sports massage, as each individual and their needs are tailored to create a specific treatment.
Sports massage can be used as a technique to enhance preparation for an event and reduce recovery time to ensure you perform at your maximum during training or after an event. A tailored sports massage programme promotes flexibility, can reduce fatigue, gives improvements in endurance, aids in injury prevention and prepares the body for peak performance.
