Just like the name suggests, this massage is popular with people who regularly play sports or participate in physical activities.
Sports massages aim to reduce and help problems caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity. By engaging in regular massages, sports injuries will decrease, and performance will improve.
This is achieved through the manipulation of soft body tissues. By massaging these tissues, both stiffness and scar tissue are reduced from the muscles.
Massages can be performed before or after a sporting event, during training, or after an injury. Both experienced athletes and casual exercise enthusiasts can benefit from this treatment.
There are several benefits to this treatment. Not only do the muscles relax and spasm less, but flexibility and range of motion are improved. While blood flow is increased, the chances of injury decrease. Plus, people who receive sports massages also report to sleep better too.
