Sports
massage is a technique that involves a 'deep' massage to help improve
circulation, muscle tone and pain relief.
|
For many of us stiffness and pain
are a fact of life to which we have become accustomed,
and it is often not until we receive massage that we
realise that our muscles are tight and that a great
deal of our energy is consumed by tension.

Following injuries, rehabilitation
is often neglected in terms of achieving full fitness
prior to returning to work and physical activity.
Body
massage can help relaxation and improve recovery through
rhythmic stroking, pressure and kneading of the muscle
groups.
Sports massage helps to improve
blood circulation and increases permeability to the
muscle.
It also helps in the removal of waste products
that accumulate in the muscle and provides a fresh supply
of nutrients.
Deep massage to the connective tissues
may reduce the restrictions and thickening in the fascia,
tendons and ligaments.
