Benefits of sports massage
Improves training
- Increasing blood flow through the tissues can improve the recovery process allowing the athlete to train more effectively and safely
- It assists the removal of waste products and helps supply the tissues with essential nutrients to aid recovery
- Increasing knowledge of deep tissues means advice can be given on specific stretching, training and equipment to help improve performance
Prevents injury
- Imbalances and damage in deep tissues can be detected earlier and potentially corrected before an injury develops
Improves self-awareness
- Through deep tissue massage an athlete can learn to monitor their own condition and adjust their training accordingly
Improves performance
- Pre-event sports massage can stimulate circulation, calm nervous tension and help prepare the athlete for optimal performance
Beware
Standards of training vary and, under current law, anyone can call themselves a sports massage practitioner or sports massage therapist. It is very important that any practitioner you visit is a member of the Sports Massage Association or the Institute of sport and remedial massage and have passed a validated Sports Massage Course - if so, they will have the letters MSMA or MISRM after their name |
