It not only supports muscle repair and decreases injury risk but also improves circulation and wards off stress. Many of us suffer with aches, pains, this makes us dysfunctional when we move as we subconsciously move around awkwardly to avoid pain. Over a period of time this could create other problems elsewhere in the body. Unfortunately because of how busy we all are in our lives we have a tendency to ignore the aches and pains and hope they will go away. Unless you deal with the issues they could cause you bigger problems in the future. Most of us have a car, if that has a problem and is not working properly we get it sorted immediately. It seems we take more care of our cars than ourselves. "Why is Sports Massage so beneficial"? By manipulating the bodies tissues with rhythmical pressure it helps muscles repair by improving circulation which carries oxygen and nutrients to the problematic area. You will feel relieved of muscle tension, relieve muscle stiffness, improve range of movement, faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments.
**Please note that Sports massage is not just for the athlete, anybody will benefit from a sports massage. Many of us sit all day due to our work commitments. This can have a detrimental effect on the body. Tension across the neck, lower back issues. You may do a manual Job which consists of you working one side of the body. This will make one side of the body very tight causing an imbalance through the body which again over time could cause major problems. People worry if a sports massage will hurt. I can't deny it, it will a little. As a therapist I apply light pressure constantly asking my clients if they are happy with that pressure. We do have to manipulate and get deeper into the muscle to release the tension but as soon as pressure is off you can feel the benefit. What to expect when you come for a treatment. You will, or already have filled in a Personal client card, disclosing any medical conditions you have and also state the area you are having problems with. First visit there is a consultation which will involve a physical assessment to check your ranges of movement. This will help determine what your treatment should be. I appreciate many people feel nervous and a little anxious but I guarantee I will put you at ease as soon as you arrive. I'm already looking forward to helping you feel better.
