A sports massage borrows techniques from many types of massage therapy to treat specific injuries and pain.
Benefits from a sports massage include:
- Healing Injuries – The obvious benefit and goal of sport massage is to heal injuries using a rehabilitative massage that will typically work on breaking down any damaged tissue or re-aligning any misaligned layers of tissue.
- Preventing Injuries – When used properly before training, a sports massage can help prepare your body for the upcoming traumas it faces. Similarly, when used after training it accelerates the healing process so you can be at 100% your next training session. These types of massage can be extremely beneficial if without an injury.
- Increase Flexibility – Scar tissue is a very brittle tissue that can accumulate over time. Sports massage can break down the scar tissue and replace it with healthy tissue which will be more flexible.
