What is Sports Massage?
Sports Massage is just like it sounds. It is geared towards those who participate in sports. The primary goal of this technique is to focus on the overused or stressed areas of the body. Each Sports Massage is catered to the athlete or individual.
How Is this Technique Performed?
A Sports Massage is very similar to a Deep Tissue Massage. However, the technique does vary depending upon the individual. Different sports work different muscle. Thus the specific areas worked on vary depending upon the sport(s) being played.
No matter what areas you target in your Sports Massage, the overall focus remains the same. It works on your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints to help promote healing, improve performance, and prevent injuries.
Sports Massage requires the use of directed deep pressure, specific strokes, and tends to use massage oil or lotion. The massage breaks down and releases build up toxins that are created from lack of oxygen and/or repetitive movement. This in turn improves both your blood and oxygen flow to your problem areas, and helps to restore your normal movement and alleviate pain.
It is important to know, pain or soreness can be felt during this procedure. Stiffness or pain can also be felt after the massage is over. However, these symptoms typically subside within a couple days.
