Improve Performance & Prevent Injury Sports Massage Therapy maintain muscles at the optimum length, helps to avoid injuries and increase the flexibility of the muscle tissue. As an athlete, you can include massage in your regular training to increase muscles performance and have greater fitness results. Because pain and injury are most common factors that prevents athletes to reach their full potential, a weekly massage treatment will help the muscles to lower the risk of different soft tissues and associated overuse injuries. To have a pre-event massage sesseion will be beneficial for any athlete to leave the table feeling prepared for athletic competition, it is for inspiration and stimulation for the athlete. It can be provided from 2 days to just a few minutes prior the competions to start.We will have a consultation before to find out which are the muscles that ussualy tend to become tight and hurt the most. I will asses the main muscles used in the event which are the the principal to treat and see where are areas of tension or trigger points as a result from training and preparation for the event. What are the effects? FASTER MASSAGE WILL STIMULATE when SLOWER MASSAGE WILL RELAX, so depending on the effect disired, I will create the treatment suitable to your need and expectations for the type of sport you are getting ready to attend. To have a treatment prior to a competition will : - greatly minimise the chance of injury and onset of lactic acid as activity commences; - Increase local heating and blood circulation into the muscles; - increase temperature and improve tissue elasticity to prepare muscles to perform better for activity,; - increase joints flexibility; - decongest muscle fibers; If you are thinking of having a massage therapist at the sports event get in touch with me to discuss how can I assist you in the competition.
