Overuse of the muscles, whether due to sporting activity, poor posture or any repetitive strain causes muscle fibres to become tangled and misaligned. Sports massage is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers looking to maintain range of motion, suppleness and flexibility of soft muscle tissues and joints. It is vital for injury prevention and to enhance sporting performance. Sports Massage is also great for treating chronic (longstanding) problems or acute injuries such as muscle spasm or strain and reducing swelling or discomfort caused by exercising or sport activities.
Many injuries can be brought about by overuse of certain muscles. This can result in soreness, pain and inflammation. Regularly scheduled sports massages can help reduce the likelihood of the muscles becoming overused in the first place and can also help reduce the initial inflammation that leads to injury.
Massage before an event will stimulate circulation, calm nervous tension and create a state of readiness in the muscles to maximise your performance while reducing the risk of injury.
For everyone, Sports Massage can reduce muscular tension, enhance circulation and promote relaxation and well-being.
