WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
Sports massage is a special form of massage and is typically used
before, during, and after athletic events. Each sport uses muscle
groups in a different way. Sports massage is designed to address
those specific concerns and may differ according to the sport played.
PURPOSE OF SPORTS MASSAGE?
The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate
stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues
during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur,
due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down
quickly and effectively. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling
injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement,
whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger. Sports massage
can be aimed to help heal strained muscles and allow healthy ones
to reach peak performance and maintain it while minimising the risk
of injury.
