Sports massage therapy can improve performance and prevent injury
Developed to help with muscle systems used for a particular sport, sports massage uses a variety of approaches to help athletes in training — before, during, or after sports events. You might use it to promote flexibility and help prevent injuries. Or, it may help muscle strains, aiding healing after a sports injury.
Although the treatment was originally intended for preventing and relieving pain in athletes, it is now sought out by amateur gym-goers and even those who suffer from stress.
There are two simple reasons for this:
- Sports massage therapy can improve performance and prevent injury (so those that exercise regularly benefit from this)
- It releases endorphins (‘happy’ and ‘pain killing’ hormones) from the pituitary gland, and these are known to relieve pain and the symptoms of anxiety and depression
This means that almost anyone can reap the benefits of sports massage if they feel the need to give it a try!
