About Sports Massage

What is Sports Massage?

Sports or Deep tissue massage is a massage technique used mainly to treat musculoskeletal problems, such as sports injuries.

It involves applying constant pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break down the scar tissue that forms after an injury and to reduce the tension in the muscles and tissues.

When you make an appointment with your massage therapist, ask how often is best for you to come in for a session.

  • For injury rehabilitation: Twice a week
  • Increase circulation and lymphatic flow: Every one to two weeks
  • For general well-being: Once a month

How Often Should You Get a Sports Massage?

Getting a professional sports massage once a week can definitely pay off big. This may not seem feasible for everyone, but regular sports massage (every 4 weeks) can bring significant results. Did you know that you should massage every 3-4 weeks for best results?

How does it work?

Before the sports massage, the massage therapist will want to know about your problem areas. A deep tissue massage can involve the whole body or a single area. The massage therapist warms up your muscles using a light touch. Once warmed up, it will start working on your problem areas.

Discover the benefits of Sports Massage

Sports massage offers both physical and psychological benefits. Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, sports massage helps treat sore muscles and improve stiffness. It can still help you relax mentally.

It's benefits

More specifically it helps with sports injuries, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, high blood pressure and sciatica. Therapeutic massage, including sports massage, can also help with:

Massage can help reduce the symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. It can also provide relaxation and improve coping mechanisms.

Massage can help improve respiratory function.

In addition to other treatments, massage can help with chronic constipation.

One might not list "relaxation" as a primary benefit of sports massage, but it is an important part of maintaining an athlete's well-being. It is usually used as part of a recovery or strengthening regimen and can be incorporated into an ongoing routine if your body needs it. Athletes in the off-season are much more likely to benefit from massage with significantly reduced muscle tension through a single treatment. For competitive athletes, massage therapy helps prevent and heal physical injuries. They also need to recover from rigorous training and stretching for the competition.

Recovery from a physical injury can be different for every athlete. The type of rehabilitation program that athletes and coaches choose will depend on who they are and what sport/activity they do. It is important to know this because the type of recovery can vary from person to person. One of the best skills massage professionals have is being able to tailor their treatments to suit the unique needs of clients. For example, recovering from a baseball injury will result in different treatment than for a gymnast. Massages will also be quite different due to this and other factors such as age, gender and more. Treatment is not only customizable, but can be tailored to your specific needs, potential pains and injuries. This will help you stay healthy, strong and ready to compete!

This massage can also help you stretch and release toxins from your muscles. When muscles are constantly engaged for a long period of time, lactic acid can build up and begin to affect certain areas of the body. Massage therapy is a fantastic way to relieve the discomfort of tired muscles and get rid of lactic acid and other waste products. It does this by working to soften and relax muscle fibers before removing toxins from the body.

It can help you sleep better. Poor sleep can seriously affect the body's ability to function and perform, so it should not be neglected for recreation. Allocating more time to sleep will provide a better quality of life.

Athletes who do not experience any physical damage or pain from their activities can benefit from regularly scheduled massages. It will help improve their performance and also support the areas of the body that were stretched during a particular sport, exercise or event. This type of activity-aware therapy and assessment can help enhance an athlete's abilities and provide them with the physical support they need to pursue and achieve their goals. Attention to muscles and joints through sports massage therapy can be excellent
