SPORTS MASSAGE |
Massage has been used by athletes since the days of the most Olympic games. The therapy restores, rehabiliates and revitalises the mind and body and will benefit all ages. |
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY
|
The physical effects include:
Maintaining the condition of the muscle tissue by removing the build up of toxins & metabolic waste produced by physical activity.
- Restoration of the condition and muscle tissue.
- Faciliation of flexibility as the muscles are stretched
- Improved tissue elasticity helps prevent unnecessary strains and injuries whilst exercising
|
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS INCLUDE: |
Pain reduction occurs when training because metabolic waste is removed which when accumulated in the body's tissues cause pain.
Also if muscles are tight movement can be limited & painful. |
PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS INCLUDE:
|
The invigorating feeling which sports massage produces prior to a game / event provides a feeling of warmth & stimulation to the muscles.
It must be noted that sports massage is not the same as therapeutic massage. The techniques used are different. A sports massage focuses on deep muscle tissue to recondition tired, sore and damaged soft tissue.
Therefore the massage has to be of greater intensity & pressure to access the deep muscle tissue. This results in the treatment being stimulating rather than totally relaxing. A sports massage will be tailored to your needs. For example certain technigues are used for maintenance massage and others for rehabilitation of an injury. |
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT: |
- You tell the therapist of any medical condition you have
- Any allergies or pregnancies are declared to the therapist
- Excessive amounts of alcohol are not consumed 12 hours proir to or after a treatment session.
