Sports massage involves the manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues. Deep tissue manipulation helps to break down knots and scar tissue. Massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, the combined effect is the removal of waste products from the body and a reduction in stress, fatigue and injury. Where minor injuries occur, due to overexertion or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Sports massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility and can prevent injuries. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger. |
