What
is Sports Massage?
Sports
Massage aids recovery from training and helps in the prevention
of overuse injuries in athletes in heavy training.
A lighter massage can also be carried out
just for relaxation
Aches and Pains
Muscles have memories, they remember where
they are generally tense or injured hence why more than one
treatment may be necessary. Secondary tension arises as the
body over-compensates for injury, tension or weaknesses within
the soft tissue, hence an over-use injury may be sustained elsewhere.
The majority of people suffer with general
aches and pains caused by bad posture or work-related stresses.
Sports massage is a different form of treatment as it clears
away any toxins present within the muscles and encourages them
to relax back into a supple state with the aid of blood flow
and lymph drainage.
