Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy has the following benefits:
- assists in your warm-up routine preparing your muscles for action
- aids flexibility - massage can stretch your muscle fibers in every direction - not easy to achieve with stretching alone
- better flexibility means you can train for longer and at a higher level
increases the circulation of blood with its oxygen, nutrients and healing hormones
decreases tension and that uncomfortable tightness that persists long after the exertion - speeds up recovery time
- allows you to train more easily and without discomfort
- means that the muscles repair more easily with less scar tissue and any scar tissue formed it is laid down in the direction of the muscle fibers so is less likely to re-injure (a common problem)
- helps you to train at a higher level because of reduced tension
- helps to restore or maintain a healthy structure - essential to avoid chronic conditions developing and to keep in peak condition
- improves whole body awareness - you will know when you’ve trained enough or when it is time for another Sports / Remedial massage
- encourages relaxation - increased alertness - leading to better concentration and focus
- gives an opportunity for specific focusing - such as visualisation techniques
- after any event - a Sports massage is useful to soothe aching, tired and overworked muscles
- to decongest muscles so that full recovery can occur and training can recommence
