Sports Massage / Sports Injury Massage

Sports massage should play an important part in the life of any sports person whether they are injured or not. Muscles can be sore after training and recovery time is needed. A massage will help increase fresh blood flow to the area to flush out waste, toxins and lactic acid. Massage has a number of benefits both physical, physiological and psychological.

During intense training, competition and sometimes in everyday life, muscles strength and endurance is pushed to its limits and beyond. The results may include:

1: Increased metabolic waste buildup in the tissue
2: Strains in the muscle or connective tissue. These may range from microscopic microtrauma to major injury

What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is the scientific manipulation of muscles, ligaments and tendons. Treatment alleviates the stresses put onto soft tissue, that everday living and physical activity brings.

When a muscle is injured to any degree it is repaired with scar tissue. The scar tissue forms in a mish mash way across the line of stress forming what is commonly known as ‘knots’. These ‘knots’ lead to the muscle not performing efficiently resulting in pain and potentially, further injury.

Who Should have Sports Massage?
