Sports & Injury Massage is especially intended for individuals who regularly engage in strenuous sports or excercies or who injure themselves doing these activities. If you have an injury, massage can help. Examples of sports injuries include pulled muscles, bruised muscles, tendon injuries, and sprains/strains.
Why get a Sports & Injury Massage?
Sports can be strenuous activities -– and can benefit by building strength, and boosting overall physical and psychological health. That said, most sport people will have a least one injury in their sporting carriers. Regularly stretching muscles helps prevent injuries. Massage is also a very effective tool to boost conditioning and prevent injuries.
Treatment Time
A treatment usually lasts between 30-minutes to 90-minutes.
How Does Sports & Injury Massage help?
In between strenuous training workouts and events, massage allows the muscles to relax, which helps build healthier tissue. To begin with, relaxed muscles produce less waste products that irritate tissues. When tight, bunched muscles relax and lengthen, they don’t press as much on surrounding structures which can help prevent poor circulation, allowing the increased flow of nutrients and natural pain-relievers to the stressed area. Finally, relaxed muscles allow the body to heal the tiny tears and other “micro-traumas” which can result from strenuous exercise.
Benefits of Sport & Injury Massage
If you have an injury (Shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, calf muscle strain, etc.) Sports & Injury Massage can be an effective tool to aid recovery. Unfortunately, the most effective treatment is rest, although running in deep water can sometimes be continued.
Massage treatments from sporting injuries is very specific work and often works best when it is frequent and gentle, especially in the beginning. After a period of rest and a series of treatments the pain should ease, and you can resume your sporting program, stronger than ever.
