Sports Massage
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports Massage is a specific type of massage which is generally rendered before, during, and after athletic events but also for those with general structural problems, to help prepare the athlete for desired performance, to relax the nerves and prevent injuries. This type of massage can be rendered only by a professional who has a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology and particularly the muscular and skeletal systems.
Sports Massage works deep to eliminate toxins embedded in muscle fibers, remove adhesions, and minimize scar tissue buildup. Muscle lengthening in sports massage helps restore a range of motion and overall flexibility. Sports massage also leads to improved circulation which aids better cell nutrition, greater elasticity of muscle fiber, and reduced recovery time.
The benefits of sports massage impact the physical, physiological and psychological levels. A state of well being is achieved only when all the three aspects are in balance. Here is a compilation of the key benefits attained at each level through a sports massage:
Physical effects of massage are:
* Deep massage causes the pores in tissue membranes to open, enabling fluids and nutrients to pass through enabling removal of waste products such as lactic acid.
* Deep massage encourages the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients which promote faster healing
* Sports massage stretches muscles to release tension or stress caused due to excess physical activity
* Sports massage helps break down scar tissues which usually affect the muscle, tendons and ligaments which impair performance.
* Sports massage helps improve elasticity of tissues.
Physiological effects of sports massage are:
* Sports massage helps reduce pain.
* Muscles are relaxed after a sports massage
Psychological effects of sports massage include:
* Reduced levels of anxiety and stress caused due to relaxed muscles and nerves.
* Sports massage stimulates a sense of well being and health.
