Sports Massage is useful in many scenarios, including maintenance, pre/post events, and rehabilitation. Maintenance massage involves regular sessions based on your activity and its intensity and frequency.
It can focus on specific muscle groups to help maintain or improve range of motion and aid recovery. Pre-event massage is designed to help increase circulation and flexibility before a performance, while post-event massage reduces muscle tension and metabolic waste to aid recovery. Sports Massage can also be used in rehabilitation to help you return to sports after an injury. The techniques used will depend on your injury and desired effect of massage.
Sports Massage can also be an effective part of a treatment program for an injury. Whether you need to massage an injured ankle ligament to prevent scar tissue buildup and promote healing, or reduce muscle tension and pain in your upper traps after a shoulder injury, a Sports Therapy assessment is recommended to address your problems in depth.
In conclusion, Sports Massage is a versatile, effective, and accessible form of therapy that can provide numerous benefits for people of all activity levels. Consider incorporating it into your self-care routine or treatment program to help you achieve your goals.
