Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a style of massage utilizing specific strokes and techniques to obtain and maintain maximum physical conditioning for an athlete during training, before a work out or after a competitive event. Sports Massage is also used therapeutically in rehabilitation to accelerate the healing process, increase range of motion, break up adhesions, reduce swelling, etc. Keeping an athlete primed for top performance is what Sports Massage is all about: Throughout training, massage on a regular basis assists in relieving muscle stress thus preventing injuries; massage before an event boosts circulation and prepares the muscles and tendons for action; and after an event, massage relaxes tight, fatigued muscles, tendons and ligaments and increases circulation to remove toxins from the body. Sports Massage can assist athletic performance by improving strength, endurance and flexibility.
