How Can Sports Massage Therapy Help You?

Sports massage therapy is for athletes of every kind. From top professionals to weekend warriors. The sports massage techniques are specific to the athlete. Focus on the areas of the body that are most stressed and aggravated from muscle fatigue and over exhaustion.

Sports massage therapy can be used as a means to enhance pre-event preparation and reduce recovery time for maximum performance during training or after an event. Athletes have discovered that specially designed sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries and prepares their body and mind for optimal performance.

With that being said, the weekend warrior can also fully benefit from Sports Massage Therapy.

One of the key benefits of Sports massage therapy is the ability to target muscle-tendon junctions. A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of motion. Another study conducted by Margaret Jones, Ph.D. of the American College of Sports Medicine, demonstrated a notable trend toward decreased muscle soreness in the athletes who received massage either before or after exercise.

If you participate in any kind of physical activity, you should consider stopping in and getting your body back to its optimal health with the help of Sports Massage Therapy.
