A sports massage is a treatment focused on mobilising and manipulating myofascial structures and soft tissue. Sports massages are incredibly beneficial for athletes who are recovering from injuries derived from physical activity.
However, even non-athletes can experience various psychological and physiological benefits from sports massage therapy.
Sports massages can be used in various ways depending on the outcome you would like to achieve from the therapy. Post-workout massages help to decrease soreness, whereas pre-workout massages can help to warm up your muscles before exercise.
During a sports massage therapy session, you can expect direct compression to your soft tissues and soft rubbing on the problem area.
The Benefits Of A Sports c
Decrease Anxiety
Sports massages force your body to release endorphins that improve your mood and induce greater feelings of relaxation. Both help decrease anxiety and promote a calm state of mind.
Reduce DOMS
A common symptom of high-intensity training is delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Sports massage therapy increases blood flow and oxygen around your muscles, speeding up the recovery rate. Therefore, you can return to exercise sooner.
Improve Flexibility
A sports massage forces your muscles to expand and strengthen in various ways. As a result, your muscles become more elasticated, and your overall flexibility will improve. Not to mention helping to relieve stored pressure around your body that decreases stiffness.
Break Down of Scar Tissue
Scar tissue derives from previous injuries and can make your muscles and tendons more susceptible to future harm. Sports massages help to break down scar tissue, so the chances of you experiencing the same injury in the future are decreased.
