Sports massage is gaining popularity as a therapy for professional athletes and forpeople whosimply enjoy being physically challenged for recreation. It is a standard part of the training regimen for many world-class sports figures, and regular massage therapy can help improve performance, reduce recovery time and alleviate muscle soreness. It can also help prepare any athlete for peak performance.
Because sports massage targets the muscle-tendon connections, it is especially useful for working with hip flexors, rotator cuffs, and other joint areas that receive focused stress, depending on the difficulty of the workout and the particular demands of the activity or sport.
Receiving a therapeutic sports massage once a week, or even once every two weeks can have dramatic results.
Therapeutic sports massage can:
Relieve pain
Improve range of motion (ROM)
Lower blood pressure
Relieve swelling
Reduce muscle tension
Increase flexibility
Improve blood circulation
Help prevent injuries
Sports massage doesn't just feel good, it does your body good and the results of consistent treatment can last a lifetime.
