Sports massage can be used to achieve a number of physiological responses and be used for different purposes.
Sports Massage encourages the increase of blood flow to muscle delivering oxygen and nutrients more readily increasing recovery and healing time.
Sports Massage encourages stretching of soft tissue such as muscle relieving tightness and tension.
Sports Massage help to align healing tissue and reduce the risk of adhesion.
Friction massage can be used on muscle, ligaments and tendon to promote healing and reductions in scar tissue.
Sports Massage can be used for the removal or reduction in Myofascial Trigger Points referred to as 'knots' in the muscle.
Pre-event massages are used to prepare athletes in the run up to events or competition just before or two days before. Massage warms the muscle, stretches the tissue increasing flexibility, reduces muscle tension, encouraging blood flow to muscle and aid psychological preparation to aid sporting performance.
Post event massages reduces the impact of competition and training on fatigued muscles, minimising swelling, stretching the muscle to maintain flexibility, encourage blood flow to the muscles removing lactic acid and other waste products. The effects of post-event massage enable overall faster recovery and healing from activity, training or sport.
During all massages particularly pre and post event massages any development of an injury is prevented or treated as soon as possible. Many athletes we see at our Back2Fitness Injury Clinics come for maintenance massage. The prevention massage encourages recovery and preparation for training or/and competition whilst reducing the risk of injury.
