Soothing Motions

Fight stress but also promote healing using a soothing sports massage

After any demanding workout routine, athletes can benefit from a sports massage therapy program designed especially for them. A discussion with a massage therapist will identify the areas that need to be addressed and ways to relax and rejuvenate them. A sports massage also prepares the body for any minor injury that may occur and combats the normal wear and tear that our bodies experience.
Many athletes report that the ability of their muscles to relax after a session of strenuous training decreases quite substantially. When muscles tighten and flexibility is limited, muscles can pull, and even tear. That is why sports massage therapy is designed with different goals in mind for different phases in an athlete’s exercise regimen. Let’s review some of these stages and how sports massage can help anyone involved in sports.
Pre-event: This type of sports massage is normally shorter than a regular conditioning massage and focuses on warming-up the major muscles to be used. A pre-event sports massage also nourishes a superior mental state to insure top performance and reduce excess muscle and mental tension.
During a sporting event: The massage technique used during a sporting event is designed to insure the ultimate in performance with low-risk training. Just as each different sport uses different muscle groups in different ways, the sports massage technique will differ as well.At the conclusion of the competition: To eliminate the occurrence of muscle spasms that often result from the demands placed on an athlete’s body, many prefer a post-competition sports massage to repair muscle tissue, relax their entire body and calm their mind. Over-training: This type of sports massage is used when the body is not allowed to recover adequately between instances of strenuous exercise. It helps avoid over-training via general relaxation and can by recognized by irritability, increased heart rate when resting, a change in appetite, and an increase in the number of injuries that occur.
A sports massage to maintain the body: Overtraining can be very harmful to an athlete’s body. Incorporating a sports massage program into a regular health program can enhance one’s range of motion and muscle flexibility. Sports massage therapy works to drastically reduce the potential for severe injury before, during and after a sporting event.
Rehabilitation Massage: Even with preventive maintenance, muscles tend to cramp, tear, bruise, and ache; a sports massage can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process. Performing a sports massage during the secondary phases of healing can improve the formation of strong and flexible repair tissue during rehabilitation.
