The Benefits of Sports Massage   

Sports massage targets the soft tissue in your body, including the muscles, tendons and circulatory system. The techniques used in a sports massage vary based on your needs - the therapist focuses on the specific areas of your body that you exercise the most during physical activity. You don’t need to be a professional athlete to enjoy the benefits of sports massage therapy.   

• Prevents delayed onset muscle soreness. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the name for the stiffness and muscular pain you feel for a few days after exercise. The pain comes from tiny tears in your muscle fibres that make them swollen and inflamed. Gentle sports remedial massage can soothe muscular soreness and improve blood circulation to the muscles, which prevents future DOMS after exercise. 

• Increases mobility. During a sports massage, your therapist may guide you through stretching exercises or conduct a range of motion analysis to exercise your joints. Kneading, wringing, rolling, and applying pressure to your muscles ease tension and increases muscular mobility. Consider a pre-workout massage to activate your muscles before exercise and enhance your athletic ability. 

• Prevents injury. Regular massage can improve your overall flexibility and muscle mobility, which also helps to prevent injury during exercise. Restorative massage relaxes your muscles between sporting events, avoiding the overexertion that leads to injury. During a massage, your body releases endorphins that help soothe pain and discomfort, which could affect your performance and cause an injury.
