What is it?

 

Massage improves circulation to the muscles that are treated. It accelerates the supply of nutrients required for correct function as well as the clearance of byproducts that can cause discomfort and postpone healing. Blood flow is naturally diminished if you do not move much during the day. Massage is an excellent approach to re-energize everything.

 

How does it work?

 

It is a type of therapeutic massage that is specifically designed to help athletes prepare for and recover from athletic performance and injuries. It is typically used in conjunction with other sports medicine treatments and may be performed before, during, or after an event or training session.

Sports massage techniques may include applying pressure, strokes, or other techniques to the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. The therapist may use their hands, fingers, or other tools to apply the massage. The goal of sports massage is to improve the function and performance of the muscles, reduce muscle tension and discomfort, and help the athlete to recover more quickly from training and competition.

Sports massage may be used to help athletes improve their flexibility, range of motion, and overall muscle function, as well as to help them recover more quickly from injuries. It may also be used to help reduce the risk of injuries by promoting relaxation and improving circulation to the muscles.

 

What does it target?

 

Therapists frequently trigger a region where their clients are in pain or they seem to have cramps, or contractures. When treating cramps, massage heats the region, increases blood flow, stretches the muscle, increases range of motion, and eases the pain by releasing pressure on the nerves. 

 

Athletic massage is the use of specific massage therapy techniques in an athletic context to improve recovery time, enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. This is accomplished using techniques that stimulate the flow of blood and lymph in the muscles. Sports massage is often delivered before or after physical activity depending on the subject’s needs, preferences and goals.
