Many people wondered if they ever need any massage or
massage services of any kind. It turns out that eventually at certain stages in
the life of individuals, one may need assistance in relaxing tensed muscles
that simply won’t loosen even with extended resting period and sleeping cycles.
Human bodies are built magically built to withstand unbelievable amount of stress
caused by multiple injuries. Often athletes may have injuries that the body is recovering
from, and the body is compensating by using additional support muscle groups to
minimize stressing the recovering muscle. In the short run, there may not be much impact
to the athlete’s ability. However, in certain sports that requires intense maneuvers,
there will be consequences when too many muscle groups are being compensated.
This is where sports massages come into play. Sports massage
can provide muscle wake up calls to the muscle group that is dormant or
recovering from injuries. Waking up the resting or “forgotten” muscle can
benefit the athlete greatly.
The massage session also has many additional
benefits including but not limited to:
⇒ Increased joint range of motion (ROM)
⇒ Increased Flexibility, as an athlete, you strive to do your best
⇒ Increased sense of well-being
⇒ Decreased muscle tension
⇒ Decreased neurological excitability (More relaxed nerves!)
⇒ Decreased muscle spasms
⇒ Better sleep
⇒ Speeds up recovery. Sports massage improves your blood circulation
⇒ Increases supply of oxygen and nutrients
⇒ Helps eliminate by-products of exercise
⇒ More relaxed focused, and clearer mind
⇒ Reduces pain
