Sports massage has increasingly been used by athletes all over the world and is an integral part of any great training regime. It doesn’t matter if you’re an Olympian, elite athlete, amateur athlete or a weekend warrior, remedial massage can fix your aches and pains and allow you to perform at the level you should be.
There are three types of sports massage, each using different techniques and very different goals.
Pre-event massage helps prevent injury through warming up the muscles, increasing your flexibility and range of motion for optimum athletic performance, increasing blood and nutrient flow to muscles. Sports massage also reduces tension and anxiety and promotes psychological readiness, which can be a crucial factor in your sport.
Post-event massage reduces the impact of damage caused to the muscles during exercise. The swelling caused by tiny tears of muscle fibres is reduced along with easing your stressed muscles and aiding in the removal of lactic acid and other toxins. This damage usually results in soreness a day or two after exercise and we all know this as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Sports massage is proven to be effective in reducing the intensity and duration of DOMS which is great news for every sportsperson.
Maintenance massage is a daily routine for the best athletes in the world. Obviously daily massage isn’t practical/affordable for the average individual but getting regular massage once per week to every few weeks will keep the body in top condition. Maintenance massage will aid circulation and muscle performance, prevent overuse injuries and allow you to fight off injuries, train better and perform to your best.
