Injuries are commonly experienced when an individual has overtrained, fails to sufficiently warm-up, receives trauma, or has muscular imbalances, poor flexibility, mineral deficiencies, inadequate endurance, or simply by doing too much too soon. Insufficient muscle strength and poor muscle tone may also lead to injury or a muscle tear. Areas of stress in other muscles, created through compensating for an injury, can be eased with a regular sports massage regimen. Sports massage can partially compensate for 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 workout.
It is a vital tool for keeping yourself in top performance.
