Sports Massage

Description

Athletes often push their bodies to excessive limits to meet performance objectives. Whether the athletic goals are speed, distance, strength, and/or skill oriented, these individuals are highly susceptible to strains, sprains, and other overuse injuries. Clinical sports massage before and after intense exercise can help athletes achieve peak performance and decrease the likelihood of injury. Sports massage is also used for injury rehabilitation.

Clinical sports massage focuses on the muscle groups relevant to specific sports. Pre-event massage helps loosen, warm, and prepare the muscles for intensive use, thereby enabling the muscles to work efficiently for longer periods of time. Pre-event massage also increases flexibility and range of motion, which further decreases the likelihood of injury.

Post-event massage stretches tight muscles, thereby decreasing muscle tension and stiffness. It increases circulation, which helps eliminate waste and toxins from the tissues. Post-event massage also minimizes soreness and speeds muscle recovery following overexertion.
