Whether you are just starting a work out program or are in training for an event, you will benefit. Swimmers, weight lifters, runners, golfers, ball players, skaters, dancers, tennis players, musicians and boxers, as well as weekend athletes, have benefited from sports massage. Injuries are commonly experienced when someone has just started training, overstrains, fails to sufficiently warm-up, receives trauma or has muscular imbalances, poor flexibility, mineral deficiencies or inadequate endurance. Sports massage can partially compensate for a lack of exercise during inactivity while recovering from injury. Sports massage is also used to relieve muscular spasms and fatigue-related injuries.
Sports massage is more than just a reward at the end of a work out.
It is a vital tool for keeping athletes primed for top performance and can lengthen their careers. Recognized as an important part of a regular maintenance program, sports massage is widely used by individuals, teams and clubs. Sports massage should be a regular part of every athlete's training program. Athletes have different massage needs at different times. Areas of muscular stress can result from repetitive or stressful motion and are typically precursors to injury.
