SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a type of massage therapy that is specifically designed for athletes or people who engage in regular physical activity. It is used to help athletes prepare for, perform at, and recover from sporting events or workouts.

The massage therapist uses various techniques, such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and trigger point therapy, to target specific areas of the body that are affected by the athlete's sport or activity. For example, a runner may require massage on their legs and hips to relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility.

Sports massage can have many benefits for athletes, including:

*Improved range of motion and flexibility

*Reduced muscle tension and soreness

*Increased blood flow and oxygen to muscles

*Faster recovery time after workouts or competitions

*Prevention of injuries

Sports massage can be performed before or after a sporting event, or as part of an athlete's regular training regimen.

It is important to inform the massage therapist about any medical conditions or injuries before receiving a sports massage to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for the athlete's needs. If in doubt, consult with a healthcare provider before getting a sports massage.
