Sports massage

Sports massage is a type of therapy that is focused and systematic, targeting muscles that are used in a specific sport1. It uses various techniques to decrease muscle pain and improve recovery, as well as improve overall range of motion and flexibility to support safe and effective movement.

The benefits of sports massage therapy include:

• Increased joint range of motion: This can help improve your flexibility and mobility

• Increased flexibility: This can help prevent injuries and enhance performance

• Decreased muscle tension: This can help you feel more relaxed and less stressed

• Decreased neurological excitability (nerves more relaxed): This can help reduce anxiety and improve mood

• Decreased muscle spasms: This can help reduce pain and discomfort

• Increased sense of well-being: This can help improve your overall quality of life

• Better sleep: This can help improve your overall health and well-being

In addition, sports massage therapy by increasing blood flow, enables increased oxygen and nutrients to reach muscles in need of revival and rejuvenation. Additionally, sports massage can stimulate the nervous system, releasing endorphins that help reduce pain and improve overall wellbeing.

It’s important to note that while sports massage is often sought by amateur and professional athletes, it can also be beneficial for anyone who regularly exercises.
